NATIONAL ASTROPHYSICS OBSERVATORY
First high-altitude astronomical observatory, now an astrophysics observatory where scientists work today.
A strange monument with large domes, isolated in the forest above Abastoumani! In 1892, Russia's first high-altitude astronomical observatory was founded here. In 1932, it became the Astrophysical Observatory. Scientists still work there today. The funicular to get there from the village doesn't always work. You can climb it on foot (at the very top of Abastoumani, on the right opposite the Arazindo sanatorium). An appointment between science and a magnificent view of the valley.
