A little set back from the lake, Sevan has no monumental character, but it is the gateway to the lake basin and one must pass through to visit the unmissable Sevanavank monastery, erected on a peninsula 3 km to the east, the former Bird Island which became a peninsula in the 1940s. Founded in the 9th century, like the churches, the town has kept no vestige of its medieval past, nor even of its tsarist past, when it was called Elenovka, except for some old houses with a vague isba look. It is a large town with streets lined with buildings covered with pink tuff, which is emancipating itself from its Soviet past and is equipping itself with all the infrastructures necessary for tourists
