3. The next point of our interesting excursion is the famous and majestic Cascade Monument. The construction project was laid back in 1924, by the legendary architector A. Tamanyan. According to his plan, the monument was to connect the north of the city with the center for walking citizens. Work began in the 80s, but lasted for several years and was suspended due to the fall of the USSR and the Karabakh war. The work was reorganized again in 2002, by an American philanthropist of Armenian descent Gerard Gefeschyan, who bought the project and started the work. Since 2009, there is operating the Museum of Art, named after Gefeschyan.

About Yerevan

Yerevan is Armenia's pink-stoned capital, a city of wide squares, café terraces and museums, with Mount Ararat standing on its southern skyline.

The city grew around Erebuni, a fortress founded in 782 BC, though most of today's centre was built in the Soviet era from the soft pink and orange tuff that earned Yerevan its nickname, the Pink City. Republic Square is the hub, framed by government buildings and museums. The Cascade, a giant stairway of terraces and sculpture, climbs a hillside, and the Matenadaran holds a famous collection of medieval manuscripts.

Top-ranked sights in Yerevan: Republic Square, Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, Matenadaran (Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts).
