Vardan Mamikonyan statue, Bronze equestrian statue in Yerevan, Armenia
The monument portrays military commander Vardan Mamikonyan on horseback, with his sword raised high above, standing near the Vernissage market.
Created in 1975 by sculptor Yervand Kochar, the statue commemorates the Armenian military leader who died in the Battle of Avarayr in 451.
The memorial represents Armenian resistance against Persian attempts to impose Zoroastrianism, leading to the preservation of Christian faith in Armenia.
Located at the intersection of Vardan Mamikonyan Street, the statue serves as a central meeting point for guided tours of Yerevan.
This equestrian statue exhibits an exceptional design where the horse appears suspended in air, supported only by dust clouds beneath its hooves.
