Monument to Alexander Tamanyan
Monument to Alexander Tamanyan, Soviet-era monument in Kentron District, Armenia
The Monument to Alexander Tamanyan features a 3-meter-high sculpture crafted from basalt and granite, depicting the architect leaning over a table in a thoughtful pose.
Alexander Tamanyan designed the first master plan of Yerevan in the 1920s, transforming the city with wide avenues, ring roads, and parks to accommodate future population growth.
The monument showcases elements from different architectural periods through processed basalt blocks, representing the connection between traditional and modern Armenian construction methods.
Located at the intersection of Tamanyan and Moskovyan Streets near the Cascade complex, the monument includes a detailed 2.5-meter representation of Tamanyan's master plan for Yerevan.
The granite platform features an inscription in Armenian and contains a poem by Yeghishe Charents, expressing the vision of a sunny city through literary artistry.
