Mesrop Mashtots statue, Bronze statue at Matenadaran building entrance, Yerevan, Armenia
The monument depicts Mesrop Mashtots standing tall with his right hand extended forward while holding a scroll in his left hand.
The statue was installed in 1962 to commemorate Mesrop Mashtots, who developed the Armenian alphabet in 405 AD during the Sasanian period.
The memorial represents the strong connection between Armenian language, education, and national identity through its placement at the manuscript repository.
Visitors can reach the statue by following Mashtots Avenue to the Matenadaran building, which stands on a hill overlooking central Yerevan.
The bronze figure stands against the backdrop of Mount Ararat, creating a visual link between Armenian language development and national geography.
