Continuously changing, romantic and contrasting Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is spread approximately at an equal distance from two mighty mountains massive-Aragats and Ararat, the symbol of Armenia. Yerevan is surrounded by its history, it rests in it, and it grows out of it. Human activity traces on the borders of today's Yerevan go back to 80-50 millennium. Erebuni is the oldest name of Yerevan. Erebuni was founded in 782 BC, on the hill Arin-berd, which is located in the southeast of modern Yerevan (now the historical museum 'Erebuni' stands there). Yerevan is one of the hottest cities in the Caucasus region. Winter is mild here, spring is short, during several days of spring fruit and decorative trees blossom, and the city reminds of a big flower garden. Summer in Yerevan is hot and dry (the average temperature in June is +26C, and the maximal is +41). Autumn in Yerevan is unforgettable: it is soft, without winds, warm and long (as a rule, until the middle of December trees are still covered with autumn golden-reddish leaves, the sky is cloudless).
