- Erebuni Museum - Located on Arin-Berd hill, the fortress of Erebuni was built in 782 BC by Urartian King Argishti The First. Excavations in the 20th century uncovered a cuneiform inscription, marking the beginning of Yerevan’s history at this site. The hilltop ruins of the citadel and wall frescoes showcase the artistic achievements of that era. The museum at the base of the hill exhibits artifacts excavated from the fortress area.

At its center is the Memorial Sepulcher with an eternal flame, surrounded by twelve tall basalt slabs. The 44-meter-high granite stele, shaped like an arrow, symbolizes the spiritual rebirth and resilience of the Armenian people.
