Republic Square

Ekaterina Soloveva

Republic Square in Yerevan is the heart of the Armenian capital and a symbol of its history and culture. Surrounded by majestic buildings such as the National History Museum and the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, it attracts tourists with its beautiful fountains and green spaces. In the evening, the square is filled with lights, creating a magical atmosphere. It is an ideal place to stroll and enjoy the local atmosphere.



Cascade Complex

zinnia_615

The Yerevan Grand Staircase, a huge Soviet unfinished project, was originally intended to connect the cascading waterfalls and stepped gardens. There are five terraces with flower beds, fountains and pools, which can be reached by escalators. On the terraces, you can enjoy the beautiful views of the entire Yerevan and Mount Ararat. The stairs began to be built in the 1980s. Due to the Armenian earthquake, the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the entire project was suspended. The top part has not been completed, but it does not affect its magnificence and unique Soviet socialist architectural aesthetics.

Armenian Genocide Museum

长脸张少侠

【Armenian Genocide Museum】 The Armenian Genocide Memorial is located on the Tsitsernakaberd "Swallow Castle" hill in the southwest of Yerevan. It was built after the 50th anniversary demonstration of the genocide in Yerevan in 1965. The memorial is not large in scale, but the exhibition covers a wide range of content, including the situation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire before the genocide, the genocide itself, the reactions of countries around the world at that time, and the impact of the genocide on later history. There were three most brutal massacres in the 20th century. The Chinese are more familiar with the German Nazi massacre of Jews and the Rwandan genocide in the 1990s. However, not many people know about the Armenian genocide. Under the rule of the Ottoman Turks, the Christian Armenians were naturally not recognized by Muslims. And the Armenians were also famous for being thorns in history, and they have always resisted tyranny. When the Ottoman Empire was weak and dying, it was worried that the Armenians would collude with Russia to oppose them, so it kept finding all kinds of reasons to massacre the Armenians, until it reached a climax during the First World War. Similar to the fate of the Jews, the Armenians had actually suffered many massacres in the late 19th century, but there was no large-scale killing. Until the First World War, the Ottomans joined the German side and became the opposite of Britain, France and Russia. When the World War broke out in 1914, the Ottomans faced Russia and suffered a disastrous defeat. Its government was even more worried that the Armenians would join forces with the Tsarist Russia to attack them. So, they began to systematically drive out and massacre Armenians and Kurds. According to records, there were 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire before World War I, and the number dropped sharply to 500,000 after World War I. The Armenians have been resisting the tyranny of the Ottoman Empire. Their resistance organization "Fifth Column" has been resisting with the help of Tsarist Russia. The Ottoman government used this as an excuse to expel all the Armenians on the Anatolian Peninsula and drive them to the desolate Transcaucasus region. That is the wasteland and desert that I kept seeing along the way from the car, a land that could not be more barren. In the end, this expulsion policy gradually escalated into a genocide. Although the death toll is not accurate, scholars generally believe that 1-1.5 million people died during the First World War. In 1991, Armenia became independent from the Soviet Union and its land area was only 11.5% of the Armenian Plateau. This more or less laid the fuse for the serious situation in the Transcaucasus region in the future. Address: 8, 8 Tsitsernakaberd Hwy, Yerevan 0028 Armenia Transportation: Take bus No. 70 or 87 on the roadside under the Yerevan Stairs Time: 10:00-15:30

History Museum of Armenia

zinnia_615

The Yerevan National Historical Museum is the most worth checking out attraction in the city. The Art Museum is also in the same building, but tickets need to be purchased separately. museum J fine ticket is 2500AMD, if you are interested in history, you can Take a look. The museum is located on Republic Square. I often go to the J Concert Hall next door to attend concerts and always pass by. The museum is not very large; it displays collections from different periods. Many locals in Republic Square are relaxing and having fun here.

Saint Gregory The Illuminator Cathedral

zinnia_615

9 It is in the heart of the city, like a dazzling star. It is not only a holy place for religious belief, but also a pearl of Armenian culture and history. The exterior design of the illusion church combines Byzantine and Armenian traditional architectural styles. The towering bell tower and dome glow in the sun, with a solemn and sacred breath. From a distance, one can't help but want to get closer to the truth. k Step into the church, wow ⑨, the magnificent decoration instantly makes people feel a kind of unworldly tranquility and solemnity. The walls are covered with exquisite murals and portraits, each carrying a deep religious meaning and historical story. Here, while enjoying the beauty of art, you can deeply appreciate the faith and emotions of the Armenian people, Yerevan Cathedral is not only the center of religious activities, but also the symbol of the Armenian national spirit. Every year, important festivals and anniversary, there are grand religious ceremonies and celebrations, attracting believers from all over the country to participate. At the same time, the church is open to the public, becoming an important window for tourists to learn about Armenian culture and history.

Cafesjian Center For The Arts

帅气的频频

Rather than being an art center, it is basically a museum store with the door open. But this is the best point to climb up and overlook the city. Up to the top floor, it has not been finished. It is said that there is no money to build! If the weather is good, you can see the Atetra Mountain in the distance, which is beautiful.



Blue Mosque

长脸张少侠

【Blue Mosque】 The Yerevan Mosque was built around 1765 AD by the then local ruler Hussein Ali-Khan. Its main purpose was to serve as the most important Friday mosque in the area. The magnificent gate and the towering minaret of the mosque are inlaid with fine blue and green tiles, which are rich in color and dazzling, which is the origin of its name. There is a fountain in the center of the mosque courtyard, and other buildings in the temple are built around the fountain. The garden is mainly planted with elms, and there are public baths and schools nearby. During the Soviet rule, the mosque housed the Yerevan Museum. In the mid-1990s, the Iranian rulers rebuilt it on a large scale, which was basically completed in 1999. It is the largest mosque in Yerevan and the only remaining mosque built for Muslims in Armenia. Its name G?k Jami means Blue Mosque in Turkish. Address: 12 Mesrop Mashtots Ave, Yerevan 0015 Armenia Admission: Free

Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre

胡乱拍照的的李

The Yerevan Opera House and the French Square are actually a crossroads. The statue of the French painter erected in the center of the round square is a gift donated by the French government. It is from the famous Rodin (Auguste Rodin), and the Yerevan Opera House was built in 1933 to the south of the French Square. It includes a concert hall and a ballet theater that was only completed in 1953, and the designer is Alexander Tammanian (Alexander Tamanian). The Liberty Square in front of the gate was formerly known as the Opera Square or the Theatre Square, which was flanked by bronze statues of Armenian composers and poet writers, and I don't even know the name. Liberty Square is still the main place for people to protest, but on weekdays, many teenagers playing wheels and skateboards practice here, every holiday will become a children's playground, surrounded by large inflatable amusement facilities and tents.

Saint Mother of God the Mighty Church

路中寒梅

Located at the intersection of Sayat-Nava Ave and Abovyan st in Yerevan, not far from Republic Square, there is a very old and beautiful chapel in front of the church. It is said that many Armenian churches were demolished during the Soviet period, but this church was fortunately preserved because no one paid attention to it behind the house. Later, a new cathedral was built next to it, which is quite distinctive.
