Yerevan is the capital and largest city of Armenia, and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. It has been the capital since 1918. The principal symbol of Yerevan is Mount Ararat, which is visible from any area in the capital.
Yerevan has lots to offer to the visitors of all ages. In city, the most busy place is Republic square, the main square of the country, It consists of two sections: an oval roundabout and a trapezoid-shaped section which contains a pool with musical fountains. The square is surrounded by five major buildings built in pink and yellow tuff in the neoclassical style with extensive use of Armenian motifs.
This architectural ensemble includes the Government House, the History Museum of Armenia and the National Gallery, Armenia Marriott Hotel and two buildings that formerly housed the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Transport and Communications. The square was originally designed by Alexander Tamanian in 1924. The construction of most of the buildings was completed by the 1950s; the last building—the National Gallery—was completed in 1977.
