We Are Our Mountains

The monument consists of two figures carved from volcanic tuff, reaching 9 meters in height and standing at an elevation of 720 meters.

Armenian sculptor Sargis Baghdasaryan completed this landmark in 1967, establishing it as a central monument in the northern part of Stepanakert.

The sculpture depicts an elderly man and woman symbolizing the connection between the local population and their mountainous homeland through generations.

Visitors can reach the monument by following the main road north from Stepanakert's center, where parking spaces are available near the site.

The figures, known locally as Tatik u Papik, meaning Grandpa and Grandma, appear to emerge directly from the mountain itself.
