Stepanavan is well known for its nature and as one of the most popular health centres during Soviet times. But for me it’s much more than nature, it’s the unique culture shaped by ethnic Armenians and Russians who lived together for many years. It became a popular place after the October Revolution as the first bolshevik meetings had been organized in Stepanavan by Stepan Shahumyan. After the revolution Stepanavan became one of the October revolution symbols and today you can find a lot of interesting and nice architectural buildings and monuments from that time.

Even people are different in Stepanavan, they live a calm and happy life and they love their city.
