Kapan, Armenia
Continuing south from Kapan on the new (not old!) highway towards Meghri, you pass through Shikahogh, which includes Mtnadzor Canyon, with one of the most pristine forests in Armenia.
This is one of Armenia's most picturesque fortresses, especially if photographed from the small hill behind it. A cool fortress with a colorful story.
This monastery is under renovation. The site alone is worth the visit, but the monastery looked cool even during the reconstruction.
