Day 1 / Transfer from the Zvartnots airport to hotel Walking evening Tour in Yerevan The Monument Mother Armenia, Cascade complex, Northern Avenue, Republic Square,

The Mother Armenia Memorial Complex was opened in 1967, in Victory Park. The height of the monument is 52 meters and the statue’s height is 22 meters. Initially, there was Joseph Stalin’s monument which was unveiled in 1950 and removed in 1962. After 5 years from its removal, the statue “Mother Armenia” was erected.
The author, the famous architect Rafael Israelyan, designed the pedestal in the style of Armenian three-nave Basilica church. The statue of a woman holds a sword with both hands. Her prototype was a 17-year-old girl Evgenia Muradyan, whom the sculptor Ara Harutyunyan saw in the store and persuaded to pose for the statue.

The Cascade complex The building that now houses the Cafesjian Center for the Arts is well known to the Armenian people, especially those living in its capital city of Yerevan. Known as “The Cascade,” the complex was originally conceived by the architect Alexander Tamanyan (1878–1936). Tamanyan desired to connect the northern and central parts of the city—the historic residential and cultural centers of the city—with a vast green area of waterfalls and gardens, cascading down one of the city’s highest promontories. Unfortunately, the plan remained largely forgotten until the late 1970s, when it was revived by Yerevan’s Chief Architect, Jim Torosyan. Torosyan’s conception of the Cascade included Tamanyan’s original plan but incorporated new ideas that included a monumental exterior stairway, a long indoor shaft containing a series of escalators, and an intricate network of halls, courtyards, and outdoor gardens embellished with numerous works of sculpture bearing references to Armenia’s rich history and cultural heritage.
Construction of Torosyan’s design of the Cascade was launched by the Soviets in the 1980s but abandoned after the Armenian earthquake of 1988 and the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. With independent rule and the transition to democracy, Armenia entered a period of severe economic hardship, and the Cascade remained a neglected relic of the Soviet era for more than a decade. Mr. Cafesjian, working with the City of Yerevan and the government of the Republic of Armenia, initiated its recent revitalization in 2002. Over the next seven years, virtually every aspect of the monument was renovated, and much of it completely reconstituted into a Center for the Arts bearing the name of its principal benefactor.

Republic Square is the central town square in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It consists of two sections: an oval roundabout and a trapezoid-shaped section which contains a pool with musical fountains. The square is surrounded by five major buildings built in pink and yellow tufa in the neoclassical style with extensive use of Armenian motifs.[7][8] This architectural ensemble includes the Government House, the History Museum and the National Gallery, Armenia Marriott Hotel and the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Transport and Communications. The square was originally designed by Alexander Tamanian in 1924.[9] The construction of most of the buildings was completed by the 1950s; the last building—the National Gallery—was completed in 1977.
