Zangezur uezd was an administrative unit within the Elizavetpol Governorate of the Russian Empire, established in the 19th century. Today, its former territory encompasses parts of Armenia's Syunik Province, including the city of Goris, and extends into Iran. Visitors interested in regional history can explore remnants of the uezd's past through local archives, museums, and the landscape that once defined this border region. While not a typical tourist attraction, the area offers a backdrop of rugged mountains and valleys that shaped the historical district's identity.
