  • Alaverdi (, also Romanized as Alawerdy, Alaverdy, and Allaverdy; formerly Manes) is a town situated in the northeast of the Armenian province of Lori, not far from the border with Georgia. This mining and industrial town with approximately 20,000 inhabitants (various sources indicate different numbers between 10,000 and 30,000), situated at the bottom of the Debed river gorge, is one of the commercial centres of the district. At the end of the 18th century when the area was annexed to the Russian Empire, the Argoutinski-Dolgoruki family "imported" many miners from Greece to start exploiting the copper mines in the area. Soon, about a quarter of all Russian copper was mined in Alaverdi. At the end of the 19th century, the concession to exploit the mine was sold to the French. During control by the Soviet Union through the 20th century, the town acquired today's typical socialist industrial appearance. The mine and belonging metallurgical complex are now privatised and serve as a major employer for the town and its surroundings. Alaverdi is situated at the only direct rail link between Armenia and Georgia, and one of the several important road connections between the two countries also passes through the town. Alaverdi has a medieval 12th century bridge, however many important cultural monuments are situated in the vicinity of the town, including the monasteries of Sanahin, Haghpat, Kobayr, Akhtala, Khorakert, Khuchap, Ardvi and a basilica in Odzun. Despite this, Alaverdi's tourist infrastructure is very poor. One of the largest villages nearby is Odzun. The name Alaverdi in Armenian language means red-stone/Ալ-վերտ/. It comes from Al-verd. (en)

  • Alaverdi (in armeno: Ալավերդի) è una città di circa 16.100 abitanti (2007) della provincia di Lori in Armenia. La città nasce come centro minerario per l'estrazione del rame (Ալ-վերտ "Al-vert" in armeno vuol dire pietra rossa), nella gola formata dal fiume Debed nel nord dell'Armenia. È un fondamentale nodo viario tra Armenia e Georgia e da qui passa l'unica linea ferroviaria tra i due stati. Il Comune di Alaverdi comprende, oltre alla città vera e propria, il villaggio di Akner (in armeno Ակներ). La città ingloba anche i siti di Sanahin e Sarahart, in origine villaggi separati. Sanahin, che è situato in cima alla gola, è collegato al centro di Alaverdi mediante una funivia. (it)
