Monument to Alexander Tamanyan

The Monument to Alexander Tamanyan features a bronze sculpture of the architect leaning over his drawings at a working table. The base displays a detailed representation of his urban plan carved into stone with text inscriptions integrated throughout the composition.

Tamanyan created the first master plan for Yerevan in the 1920s and laid the foundation for the city's modern development. His design with wide avenues and ring roads shaped how the city would grow and set the template for decades to come.

The monument honors Tamanyan at work on his plans and acknowledges his impact on how the city grew and developed. It stands as a reminder of how his vision shaped Yerevan's identity and the buildings that define the urban landscape today.

The monument stands at the intersection of Tamanyan and Moskovyan Streets near the Cascade complex. The location is easy to reach on foot and offers clear views from different angles throughout the day.

A poem by Yeghishe Charents is carved into the granite platform and expresses the vision of a sunny city through words. This literary addition gives the work a more personal and artistic dimension beyond the visual representation alone.
