This Abandoned Restaurant Hides A Forgotten Masterpiece

Tucked away in a crumbling building off an uneven road, this abandoned restaurant holds a stunning secret — a clay bas-relief by renowned Armenian ceramist Eduard Beroyan. What was once a vibrant space now lies forgotten, but the artwork still clings to life. Join me on an urbex adventure that uncovers beauty where no one’s looking — in the dust, silence, and shadows of decay.

We were on an urbex mission with G. Mattu when he suddenly said, “Drive this way — I’ve got something special for you.” My heart started racing. I knew I was about to see something remarkable. And I wasn’t wrong.




The thick vegetation was surrounding the restaurant...


We parked the car on an uneven road and continued on foot. The buildings around us looked unremarkable, but I trusted him. We entered a round structure and — oh my god — it was the work of Eduard Beroyan, the very piece I’d seen earlier on Mattu’s Instagram.



The unique design of the restaurant hall made a huge impression on me


It turned out this place had once been a restaurant, and one of its walls was adorned with a stunning clay bas-relief by the talented ceramist Beroyan. Remarkably, the artwork was still in good condition, with only minor damage.
