Mother Armenia, Monumental sculpture in Gyumri, Armenia.

Standing at 41 meters tall, the copper statue of Mother Armenia rises on a dark tuff pedestal near the Black Fortress of Gyumri.

The monument was inaugurated on May 9, 1975, marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War.

The figure holds both a capital of Zvartnots Cathedral and a palm branch, representing Armenian architectural heritage and aspirations for peace.

Visitors can access the memorial complex, which includes the eternal flame and the tomb of the unknown soldier, throughout the year.

The back of the sculpture features an image of Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution, adding deeper meaning to its symbolism.
