Sayat Nova monument, Marble monument in central Yerevan, Armenia
The Sayat-Nova monument is a work in white marble displaying three female figures alongside the poet's carved head. The sculpture stands near the State Conservatory and is built from large stone blocks fitted together with verses inscribed into the surface.
The monument was built in 1963 to honor a poet from the 18th century who wrote in several languages of the region. His songs were composed in Armenian, Georgian, and Azerbaijani, making him a bridge between different cultures of his time.
The name Sayat-Nova means "King of Songs" and honors a poet who moved Armenian people through his verses. The carved words on the stone show how his poems remain alive in the city's memory today.
The monument is located on Sayat-Nova Avenue near the music conservatory and is accessible on foot at any time of day. It sits along a busy pedestrian path, making it easy to find and visit while walking through the city.
The artist Ara Harutyunyan received a silver medal from the USSR Academy of Arts in 1964 for this refined stone work. The compact size of the piece shows masterful craftsmanship in representing complex symbolic elements.
