Symphony of Stones

The Symphony of Stones, also known as the "Basalt Organ," stands as a natural marvel situated within the Azat River basin, near Garni village. Recognized as one of Armenia's natural monuments, this site boasts massive hexagon and pentagon basalt columns, reaching impressive heights of nearly 50 meters. The remarkable symmetry of these stones gives the appearance of meticulous craftsmanship. Hanging against gravity, they form a resemblance to an organ, earning the alternate name "Basalt Organ Pipes." As the Azat River flows through the gorge, the stones are accompanied by the soothing sound of water, enhancing the splendor of this geological wonder.
