Tamanyan Street, Pedestrian street in Kentron district, Armenia

Tamanyan Street is a pedestrian walkway in central Yerevan that links the Cascade complex to Moscow Street. Cafes, restaurants, and shops line both sides, creating an active social space throughout the day.

Tamanyan Street was laid out in Yerevan's 1924 general plan as part of the northern cascade meant to connect the centre with the north of the city. The street took shape by the 1960s, while the Cascade ensemble was finished later. It was designed as a boulevard with pools, fountains and flower beds, and two nine-storey tower blocks by architects O. Babajanyan and V. Gusyan rose at its start by Freedom Square.

The street hosts public artworks displayed along its length that shape how people move through the space. Walking here, you encounter sculptures that become natural gathering points for visitors and locals alike.

The street runs about 200 metres from Moscow Street north to the Cascade, crossing Isahakyan Street, and is roughly 55 metres wide. It is pedestrian-only and flat, with cafes, bars and restaurants set along the sidewalks. Tamanian's statue stands at the southern entrance, and the Cascade staircase closes the northern end.

A statue of the architect stands near where the street begins, placed there in the 1970s as a tribute. This monument marks a key spot between the famous Cascade complex and the busy downtown area.
