The ruins of the ancient Metsamor Fortress lie to the southwest of Taronik, Armenia. The area was populated from the 5th millennium BC until roughly 1700 CE. The site is currently being explored and excavated by a joint Polish-Armenian research team, and the site was originally first excavated in the 1960s by a Soviet team.
