Brief Information | The trilingual (Armenian-English-Russian) book-album is devoted to fountains—remarkable architectural structures reflecting the Armenians’ special attitude to water. It presents fountains throughout the territory of Armenia Maior according to its division into 15 provinces. A special section dwells on fountains in the Diasporan Armenian settlements and in Cilicia, a coastal region in the south-east of Asia Minor where an Armenian kingdom existed in the Middle Ages. The work does not claim to be a comprehensive study of Armenian fountains: it is simply aimed at raising awareness of this type of architectural buildings which abound in the historical Armenian Homeland.
