The monument was created in 1959 by renowned Armenian sculptor Yervand Kochar and architect Mikael Mazmanian.

The last point of our city tour is  the Historical Archaeological Museum - Fortress of Erebuni, where 2- millennium history of Yerevan began! In 1879, a large stone covered with Urartian cuneiform was found on Arin-Berd. The inscription said  that in 782  BC the king of Urartu Argishti I ordered  to build a fortress. And this fortress was called Erebuni. So  archaeological excavations have revealed the mysterious history of  Yerevan to  the world.

More  ancient than Rome, but modern Yerevan is waiting for you!
