Day 1

Stop 1.Tstitsernakaberd Memorial Complex

The Erebuni Fortress historical monument is located on Arin Berd hill in Yerevan’s Erebuni district. Excavations have uncovered a cuneiform inscription confirming that this fortress was built by one of the most powerful kings of the Urartian Kingdom, Argishti I, in the fifth year of his reign, in 782 BCE, and was named Erebuni. Thanks to the interpretation of Urartologist Boris Piotrovsky, this monument became the first reliable evidence of Yerevan’s foundation. The fortress consisted of palatial, religious, and economic structures.

Stop 3.Republic Square

Republic Square is the main square of Yerevan, designed by architect Alexander Tamanyan in the 1924 master plan of the city. It serves as a major urban and transportation hub, as well as a venue for various events and gatherings. The square features the singing fountains, two major museums—the History Museum of Armenia and the National Gallery, along with government buildings constructed between the 1920s and 1950s, the Central Post Office of Armenia, and the Marriott Hotel. The Republic Square complex is considered one of the finest examples of Soviet-era architecture, earning the State Prize of the Armenian SSR in 1971.
