1. Ararat Brandy Factory

"The Ararat Brandy Factory was founded in 1887 by Nerses Tairyants and has continued its uninterrupted operation ever since. In 1900, the factory’s first brandy recipe won the Grand Prix at an exhibition in France. Due to its high-quality characteristics, it was permitted to be labeled as ""Cognac"" instead of ""Brandy"", which was the standard term for grape-based spirits produced outside the Cognac region of France. The Ararat Brandy Factory continues to evolve and innovate, aligning with global trends and diverse taste preferences. Visitors can tour the factory, explore its museum, and taste some of the richest and most refined brandies."

2. Victory Park

The construction of the park (then called Arabkir City Park) began in the 1930s, and after the end of World War II, it was renamed Victory Park. On November 29, 1950, the Victory Park memorial complex was inaugurated, featuring a 17-meter-tall statue of Joseph Stalin. Due to this, locals still refer to the complex, the park, and the surrounding district as "Monument." The architect behind the park’s reconstruction and the memorial complex was Rafael Israelyan. In 1962, Stalin’s statue was dismantled, and years later, Ara Harutyunyan’s 22-meter-tall "Mother Armenia" statue was installed on the pedestal as a symbolic representation of the Armenian woman.

3. Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex

"At the beginning of the 20th century, the Turkish government carried out one of the century’s greatest crimes against humanity—the Armenian Genocide. The Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex is dedicated to the 1.5 million Armenians who perished as a result of the genocide orchestrated by the Ottoman Empire. Since its inauguration in 1967, the memorial has become an integral part of Yerevan’s architectural landscape, serving as a pilgrimage site. The complex consists of three main structures: - The Memorial Wall (Hushapat), - The Sanctuary of Eternity, where an eternal flame burns, - The ""Reborn Armenia"" Memorial Column, a 44-meter-high pillar symbolizing the revival of the Armenian people. Twelve massive stone slabs encircle the eternal flame, representing the twelve provinces of historic Western Armenia that were lost due to the genocide. Surrounding the memorial is a 100-meter-long wall, engraved with the names of the cities and villages where the massacres took place."

4. 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.
