Arch of Charents, Cultural heritage monument in Voghjaberd, Armenia

The Arch of Charents is a memorial on a small hill beside the Yerevan–Garni road in Voghjaberd, at an altitude of 1,500 metres. It is a plain structure of masonry stone with a curved opening that frames Mount Ararat. A verse from Yeghishe Charents's 1920 poem "My Armenia" is inscribed above the arch.

Architect Rafael Israelyan spotted the view toward Ararat from a hill beside the Yerevan–Garni road and chose the spot for an arch, built in 1957. The monument honours the poet Yeghishe Charents, who died on 27 November 1937 during the Great Terror and was rehabilitated in 1954, a year after Stalin's death.

The arch frames a direct view of Mount Ararat, and the carved lines from Charents' poem about that mountain are inscribed on the stone for anyone to read. Standing in front of the opening, the visitor sees the landscape the poet wrote about.

The monument sits directly beside a main road and can be reached with a short stop during a drive. A visit in daylight gives enough light to read the inscription and take in the view through the opening.

The hill where the arch stands is said to have been one of Yeghishe Charents' favourite places. The poet, who died on 27 November 1937 during the Great Terror, was rehabilitated in 1954, a year after Stalin's death, and the monument followed in 1957.
