The small castle is at the top of a deceivingly tall peak, which takes an hour to climb. It is near Marduni, on the Getik River. The Temple of Khaldi The temple of Khaldi was rebuilt into a thirty-column apadana for the official receptions of the Iranian viceregent in the Ararat plain. The outer walls, fortified with pilasters, created the impression of emphasized mightiness, which was in a striking contrast with the interior. Slender columns, rhythmically arranged along the facade and in the depth of the interior imparted lightness and clarity to its composition.
