Zarishat is the capital of the Armenian province of Aragatsotn, located about 25 kilometers northwest of the capital Yerevan. The name of the city means "Golden Garden", and historically it was an important settlement in the ancient Ararat Plain of Armenia.
Zarishat has a rich cultural heritage and is surrounded by historical monuments such as the 7th century St. George's Church. The city is known for its traditional handicrafts and winemaking, and organizes annual folklore festivals showcasing Armenia's unique culinary and musical traditions.
The city is located on the northern edge of the Ararat Valley, at an altitude of about 850 meters above sea level, and enjoys a continental climate. The economy is based on agriculture, with the production of grapes, fruits and other crops, and the gradual development of food processing and tourism. Yerevan is easily accessible via the M1 highway, making it an important regional hub for Armenia.
Visitors can explore the Zarishat History Museum, experience wine tasting at a local winery, or go hiking in the nearby Khosrov Forest Reserve. The contrast between the city's preserved Soviet-era architecture and new modern facilities attracts cultural explorers.
