Vardan Mamikonyan statue, Bronze equestrian statue in Yerevan, Armenia

The Vardan Mamikonyan statue is a 17-metre monument in Yerevan's Ring Park, near the intersection of Vardanants and Khanjyan streets. It is made of hammered copper and reddish limestone sandstone. The sculptor was Yervand Kochar, a People's Artist of Armenia, and the architect was Stepan Kyurkchyan.

The monument was unveiled on 20 December 1975 in the section of Yerevan's Ring Park bordering Knunyants (now Vardanants), Khanjyan and Mravyan (now Alek Manukyan) streets. Architect Stepan Kyurkchyan and sculptor Yervand Kochar designed it in hammered copper and reddish limestone sandstone, 17 metres tall. It honours Vardan Mamikonyan, hero of the Vardanants War, and is listed among the immovable monuments of history and culture of Yerevan's Kentron district.

The statue marks the Armenian Church's commemoration of Vardan Mamikonyan and his companions, remembered in the feast of the Vardanants. It stands in the Ring Park near the intersection of Vardanants and Khanjyan streets, a spot that takes its name from the battle leader.

The statue stands at a central crossroads and is easy to reach on foot, with several bus stops nearby. The area around it is open, with enough room to view it from different angles without obstruction.

The horse in the statue does not touch the ground: it appears to float above sculpted dust clouds beneath its hooves. This gives the heavy bronze figure a sense of forward motion that is easy to miss at first glance.
