Ошакан · Օշական
Oshakan was a fortress in the Ayrarat province of historical Greater Armenia, built on the right bank of the Kasagh river. What remains today are ruins, sitting on a hill known locally as Didikond, above the modern village of Oshakan.
The site lies in Aragatsotn region, about 5 km southwest of Ashtarak. Beyond its location and the hill it occupies, little else about the structure is documented.
The ruins sit in Aragatsotn region, about 5 km southwest of Ashtarak, on the Didikond hill above Oshakan village. From Yerevan, that's roughly 19 km west-northwest in a straight line.
