Visual reconstruction of Tigranakert in Artsakh

The image presents the city of Tigranakert in Artsakh. According to the source, the city was founded by King Tigran the Great of Armenia around the 1st century BC and was one of the important ancient Armenian cities.

This is not a photograph but a modern reconstruction. On a hillside lies a triangular city enclosed by walls with towers; inside, houses and larger buildings line straight streets.

According to the source, it was built as a fortified city with defensive walls and clearly planned streets. Archaeological excavations have shown that it had residential quarters, squares and important buildings. Today Tigranakert is an important archaeological monument.
