Erebuni Fortress
Крепость Эребуни · Էրեբունի ամրոց
Erebuni Fortress is an Urartian fortified city built on Arin Berd hill, in Yerevan, raised as one of several strongholds the kingdom set along its northern border. It ranked among the most important political, economic, and cultural centers of Urartu's territory.
The ruins sit 1,017 meters above sea level. Yerevan's own name traces back to Erebuni, making this old frontier post the quiet namesake of the capital that grew up around it.
Visitors have a paid parking lot and a restroom on site, and the fortress is listed as suitable for children.
Erebuni Fortress is in Yerevan, on Arin Berd hill, about 5 km south-southeast of central Yerevan in a straight line.
