A person who wish to move to my city should know it is one of the oldest in the world, having 3000 years of history. The weather is sunny in summer and cold in winter. One of the remarkable things in our city is the water that you can drink even from the tap. Thanks to water, sun and soil fruits and vegetables are delicious.

The principal symbol of Yerevan is Mount Ararat which is visible from any area of city. The previous name of Yerevan was Erebuni. Yerevan was founded by the king Argishti 1. Yerevan is home to a large number of art galleries, libraries and museums. Along the Hrazdan river Yerevan is the administrative, cultural and industrial center of the country.

Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, and it is the biggest city. Yerevan is famous for being a tourist place. If you visit during summer, you will see a large amount of tourists from all over the wold. One of the famous sightseeing places is Tsitsernakaberd, it was built for the memory of the millions of Armenian victims that were killed during the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Madenataran is also an interesting place for tourists who are interested in learning about the history of Armenia and the culture of the Armenian people.

Yerevan is a capital of Armenia. It is 2801 years old. I ancient times it was called Erebuni. It was established in 782 B. C. by urartian king Argishti II. Now, in the place of the ruins of the ancient city there is a fortress with cuneiform inscriptions and ruined temples of Susi, dedicated to ancient gods of Haldi and Ivarsha.

To see the heart of my Yerevan you should visit Khond. it is very old district which shows our history. You can find their old machines, houses and church. Here people are very hospitable and cheerful. I do believe that you can “smell” the real Armenian breath. We have another beautiful places but they are well built such as Opera, Cascade, The Republic Square and so on.
