2800th Anniversary Park of Yerevan

The 2800th Anniversary Park of Yerevan is a new landmark in Armenia's capital, gifted to the city by brothers Mikael and Karen Vardanyan (who head the Grand Holding) in honor of Yerevan's 2800th anniversary in 2018. The park officially opened in 2019. It sits in the city center, a 7-minute walk from Republic Square, and covers 1.5 hectares. It is a distinctive blend of Armenia's history, culture, and nature. In the park you can see imposing statues of a bull and a lion, symbols of ancient Armenian civilization, along with many smaller sculptures for children. There are also beautiful fountains that are lit up in different colors after dark. The park is planted with a variety of trees and flowers, including rare and exotic species. You can also see a mosaic alley that resembles a huge Armenian carpet. The fountains in the park run from June through November.
