About Yerevan
Yerevan is the capital and largest city of Armenia, and it is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. The city is often called the 'Pink City' because many of its buildings are made from rose-colored tuff stone, which glows in sunlight. Yerevan is home to the Cascade Complex, a series of terraces and sculptures that rise above the city center and offer sweeping views. The Matenadaran, a repository of ancient Armenian manuscripts, is one of the city's most important cultural institutions. The city is the cultural heart of Armenia, with museums, theaters, and a lively café culture along its wide avenues. From many vantage points, visitors can often see Mount Ararat, a symbol of Armenian identity, rising on the horizon.
