The Gallery of Mineral Waters is the heart of Jermuk’s wellness culture. Located in the center of the town, it is a favorite place for both visitors and local residents. Almost every path in the surrounding park leads here, making it a natural meeting point and an essential stop for anyone exploring the city.
The gallery was built in 1956 and designed by architect Gevorg Tamanyan, the son of the renowned Armenian architect Alexander Tamanyan. Unlike traditional buildings, the gallery is constructed under an open canopy with elegant arches and columns, creating a unique architectural space that blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature.
Visitors can taste water from five different springs, with temperatures ranging from 30°C to 53°C. As you walk along the corridor, the temperature gradually changes — the further you go, the hoter the water becomes. Each source has its own mineral composition and properties. The waters are classified as carbonated, hydrocarbonate-sulfate-chloride, sodium-potassium, and magnesium types. The chemical composition of Jermuk’s waters is similar to the well-known mineral waters of Zheleznovodsk and Karlovy Vary.
Doctors in Jermuk often recommend drinking the mineral water three times a day, 20–30 minutes before meals. When consumed correctly, it is believed to support digestion, improve metabolism, assist in the treatment of gastrointestinal conditions, and enhance overall well-being. For guests staying in local sanatoriums, mineral water consumption is usually an important part of the prescribed treatment program.
In 2003, the Gallery of Mineral Waters was officially included in Armenia’s State List of Immovable Historical and Cultural Monuments, recognizing its architectural and cultural significance.
For anyone seeking to restore health, experience local traditions, or simply enjoy a unique architectural landmark, the Gallery of Mineral Waters is an essential part of the Jermuk journey.
