Vernacular architecture of Armenia

The Vernacular architecture of Armenia is based on long standing Armenian architectural tradition starting from the times of Urartu to the modern day.

Vernacular architecture refers to the common architecture of the region, which is usually much simpler than what the technology of current time is able to provide. In Armenia, the mountainous terrain, abundance of the tuff stone of different colors as well as the peculiar geoposition of the Armenia itself, open to foreign invasions and attacks, played a pivotal role in the development of the national style of vernacular architecture.
