Located in the Lori Province of northern Armenia, Araverdi is one of the country's major industrial cities. It is situated in the Derbeid River Gorge and is surrounded by forested mountains with beautiful landscapes. The name of the city means "red valley" in Armenian, reflecting its unique geography.
Araverdi used to be an important industrial center during the Soviet era, famous for copper mining and smelting. Although industrial activity has declined in recent years, the city still retains architectural and industrial monuments from the Soviet period. Nearby are historical sites such as a medieval monastery, which attracts visitors to explore its cultural heritage.
The city's surroundings are rich in natural beauty, including hiking trails and hot springs. The Hagopat Monastery and the Sanahin Monastery, listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are not far from Alaverdi and are must-see historical landmarks for tourists.
