"Rebirth of Armenia" Monument and Eternal Memorial Altar: Yerevan's landmark buildings, feel the weight of history

Armenian Genocide Museum, Yerevan, Armenia. Founded in 1995. Includes memorial platform and museum. There is a 44-meter-high "Rebirth of Armenia" monument on the platform. Commemorates the 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman Empire in World War I. The 44-meter-high "Rebirth of Armenia" monument pierces the sky like a sharp sword. The Eternal Memorial Altar consists of 12 sloping memorial walls surrounding the torch, which means remembering and mourning. In the middle of the memorial altar is an eternal fire burning🔥 to keep vigil for the 1.5 million people who died that year. On the northwest side is a stone wall one hundred meters long, on which are engraved the names of the towns where Armenia was expelled. No matter where you are from, when you come to Yerevan, you can come and see the monument to the rebirth of Armenia. The torture a country has gone through, what a sad history, pray for the lost souls🙏🏻. May the world always be peaceful. It takes about fifteen minutes to take a taxi from the city center. It is located at the commanding heights of the city. If the weather is good, you can overlook Yerevan and Mount Ararat in the distance. Free admission without tickets. #modernArchitecture
