Like the Hovhannavank monastery which is five kilometers south, Saghmosavank is situated atop the precipitous gorge carved by the Kasagh river.
Then we headed back to our hotel in Yerevan. In night we explored the city and had a chance to be part of new year celebrations at Diana abgar park, the event was named “Seasons park station 2023-2024”

It was commissioned by Hoseyn Ali Khan, the khan of the Iranian Erivan Khanate. It is one of the oldest extant structures in central Yerevan and the most significant structure from the city's Iranian period. It was the largest of the eight mosques of Yerevan in the 19th century and is the only active mosque in Armenia today.
Then we visited Mother Armenia monument, Mother Armenia is a female personification of Armenia. Her most public visual rendering is a monumental statue in Victory Park overlooking the capital city Yerevan. It was built to commemorate the victory of the USSR in the World War II
Then we visited cascade complex, The Cascade consists of 5 hillside terraces connected with 572 steps. The Cascade is located in Yerevan, Armenia. White travertine stone was used for building the complex since only this stone was available in the amount sufficient for such a large-scale construction. The Yerevan’s Cascade is situated in the northern part of the city center near the Opera House and Matenadaran
