Make sure to see the main square. Though it never took the planned shape of the Grand Square of a perfect city of Tamanyan, it still can be considered the finest example of Soviet era architecture as far as squares go. The early buildings (the Houses of Government, the Ministry of Communications and the Marriott Hotel) are fine example of Neo-Classical architecture with Armenian hints. The buildings from later period (the Foreign Ministry and Art Gallery) are Modernist imitations of previous ones. see | imageRepublic square-fountains-raffi kojian.jpg | nameSinging Fountains | alt | url| addressRepublic square | lat40.178103 | long44.51336 | directions| phone | hours21:00-23:00 | price | contentDo not miss an evening with the Republic Square Singing Fountains.
