Օutstanding Armenian poet Hovhannes Shiraz was born in Gyumri. His house-museum building is located in Varpetats street. The house was constructed by a wealthy Qeshishyan citizen of Alexandrapol in 1883. The western facade has a luxurious gate, leading you to the inner yard. After the Soviet revolution, the house was confiscated and served as a residential block. The house-museum of Hovhannes Shiraz was officially opened in this building in 2003.
