Key Facts

Spitak is a town and urban community in the Lori Province of Armenia, serving as the administrative center of the Spitak Municipality. Located in the northern part of Armenia, Spitak sits approximately 96 kilometers north of the capital Yerevan, positioned at the southeastern foothills of the Bazum Range at an elevation of around 1,650 meters above sea level. The town covers an area of approximately 5.6 square kilometers and has a population of about 12,000 people according to recent estimates. Spitak is famously known for being near the epicenter of the devastating 1988 Spitak earthquake, which destroyed much of the town and caused widespread destruction throughout northern Armenia. The town has since been largely rebuilt with international assistance, though the earthquake's impact remains a significant part of its history. Spitak Municipality is divided into the town itself and several surrounding rural communities, maintaining its role as an important regional center for commerce and transportation in Lori Province.
