You're standing in the area where historians search for a lost city: Tigranakert, or Tigranocerta in Latin. It was once the capital of the Armenian kingdom. Nobody knows exactly where it stood. The candidates are the area around today's Silvan, the town of Arzan, and the valley of the Garzan river.
