Yerevan is affectionately known as the 'Pink City' because so many of its buildings are constructed from natural pink tuff. This volcanic rock is abundant in Armenia and is highly durable yet easy to carve. It gives the city's architecture a warm, glowing appearance, especially during sunrise and sunset.

Authentic Armenian duduks are crafted exclusively from the wood of apricot trees, which gives the instrument its uniquely warm, melancholic, and nasal tone. Other woods like pear or walnut produce a much sharper sound. In 2008, UNESCO recognized Armenian duduk music as a masterpiece of cultural heritage.

The Temple of Garni, constructed in the first century AD, is believed to have been dedicated to Mihr, the ancient Armenian god of the sun and light.
