Charles Aznavour Square

Charles Aznavour Square, Pedestrian square in Kentron District, Yerevan, Armenia.

Charles Aznavour Square is a public plaza in central Yerevan with the Moscow Cinema and Grand Hotel Yerevan as its main landmarks. The square serves as a junction point where several streets meet and from which you can reach restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues.

The square was laid out in 1924 under Alexander Tamanian's general plan, and its ensemble took shape between 1927 and 1958 with the Yerevan Hotel, the Stanislavski Theatre, the Moscow Cinema and the Artists' Union building. On 19 September 2001, ahead of Charles Aznavour's visit for Armenia's tenth independence anniversary, the city renamed it after him. A statue of Aznavour by David Minasyan was unveiled in 2025.

The square's name honours Charles Aznavour, and since 12 July 2010 it has held an Alley of Film Stars modelled on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. The first four stars went to Armenian film figures Amo Beknazaryan, Ruben Mamulyan, Sergei Parajanov and Henri Verneuil; Aznavour's own star was unveiled on 8 July 2013 in his presence.

The square sits where Abovyan Street meets the block of the Moscow Cinema and Grand Hotel Yerevan, so it works as a short pedestrian cut between them. The 2013 renovation replaced the paving slabs, giving a level surface across the open area. Benches beside the statues let you sit and photograph; the Zodiac Fountain stands in the centre.

The square hosted the Yerevan Vernissage before the open-air market moved to its current site. The square also holds a Zodiac Signs fountain installed in 1983, made by architect Arsen Melikyan with sculptors Ararat Hovsepyan and Vladimir Atanyan.
