Sasuntsi Davit : The statue of Sasuntsi Davit (David of Sasoun) is the symbol of Armenian epic glory and in itself represents the Armenian nation. The impressive and capturing statue of Sasuntsi Davit was sculptured by outstanding Armenian sculptor Yervand Kochar in 1959, who in 1940's had made the original statue out of clay and which later on served as a model for the completed copper version of the original. The statue is located in the heart of Yerevan, next to the entrance of the main train station of Yerevan.


Erebooni Museum : It is located in the pathway of the entrance to the Erebuni-Arin Berd fortress. The museum was built in 1968, during the commemoration and celebration of the 2750th Anniversary of Erebuni-Yerevan. The large numbers of exquisite artifacts that are stored in the museum are all from the fortress Erebuni. The museum in itself gives the visitor an introduction to the great fortress Erebuni, which became the nucleus of the modern day Yerevan, the name Yerevan itself evolved from the early Araratian name of Erebuni. Once the center of trade and commerce Erebuni was one of the most important outpost fortress-cities of the mighty Araratian Kingdom, established in 782 B.C. on a much earlier settlements ( dating back to early settlements of 5,000-6000 B.C.) by King Argishti the First of Ararat, Erebuni ceaselessly continued its existence up to the present day Yerevan for nearly 3,000 years.
