Hayk Square, Central square in Vanadzor, Armenia
Hayk Square is the central gathering space in Vanadzor, featuring a monument at its core surrounded by wide pedestrian paths and public seating. Trees and plants line the perimeter, creating a green setting for visitors to move through.
The square takes its name from Hayk, the legendary founder of Armenia, and has served as a central meeting place for Vanadzor residents since its creation. It developed as the city grew and evolved over time.
The square holds status as a protected cultural heritage monument, reflecting the architectural traditions that shaped Armenian urban planning.
Multiple public transportation stops are located around the square, making it easy to reach from different parts of the city. Cafes, shops, and administrative buildings line the area and operate throughout the day.
During local festivals, the square becomes an open-air gallery where Armenian artists show their work alongside demonstrations of traditional crafts. These events reveal the living artistic traditions of the community.
