Mixing Old and New Values
Apart from learning the history, we should also see the important values of historical significance.
Bjni Castle is the result of the construction activities of Vasak Pahlavuni. From 2007-2008, the restoration and fortification of the castle walls, as well as the excavation of the area, began.
After getting acquainted with the historical value of the past centuries, we will go to the underground cave of today’s architect Levon.
Master Levon’s principle was to dig only by hand, with a chisel and a hammer. He rejected offers to provide power tools and equipment. He encountered different layers of soil: black soil, tuff, basalt, all of which he overcame by digging almost every day for 23 years and being malnourished.
