Cascade Complex/Yerevan
The Cascade is a giant stairway in Yerevan, Armenia. It links the downtown Kentron area of Yerevan with the Monument neighborhood. The construction of the cascade designed by architects Jim Torosyan, Aslan Mkhitaryan, and Sargis Gurzadyan was launched in 1971 and completed in 1980.
Inside the Cascade, underneath the exterior steps are a couple of escalators going the length of the complex. There are also rooms connected to some of the landings along the escalators which compose the Cafesjian Museum of Art.The exterior of cascade, in addition to stairs has multiple levels with fountains and sculptures. The stairs afford walkers unobstructed views of central Yerevan and Mount Ararat.Cascade is well known by the young generation as a place to go drink coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages and get a bite to eat. There are outdoor concerts with a great view from up on the Cascade staircase. Cafesjian has events like Jazz concerts, classical guitar, and much more. A great place full of night life.
The construction began in 1971, during the Soviet period. The first phase was completed in 1980. Further development was implemented between 2002 and 2009 when the complex was handed over to the American-Armenian businessman Gerard Cafesjian in the early 2000s and a complete renovation was performed. A large museum complex was also planned for the top. Although the construction of the museum was launched, it was frozen in the early stages and has not continued for years.

Budget Travel Armenia #3
Climbing the Cascade in downtown Yerevan provides a terrific overview of the Armenian capital at sunset.
Starting at Republic Square and winding through both Freedom Square and Liberty Square, this urban hike reaches the steps of the Cascade where, at the bottom, there is a collection of eclectic contemporary art and sculptures.
On a busy Saturday, Matt gains a good grasp of an urban Armenian vibe.

Το Kaskad είναι μια γιγαντιαία σκάλα από ασβεστόλιθο. Σχεδιάστηκε από τους αρχιτέκτονες Jim Torosyan, Aslan Mkhitaryan και Sargis Gurzadyan. Η κατασκευή του ξεκίνησε το 1971 και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1980. Στη βάση του υπάρχει πάρκο με αγάλματα από σύγχρονους γλύπτες όπως ο Botero, ο Lynn Chadwick και ο Barry Flanagan. Στο εσωτερικό του, κάτω από τα εξωτερικά σκαλοπάτια, υπάρχουν επτά κυλιόμενες σκάλες που ανεβαίνουν μέχρι την κορυφή του συγκροτήματος. Υπάρχουν επίσης αίθουσες εκθέσεων, που συνθέτουν το Μουσείο Τέχνης Cafesjian. Το εξωτερικό έχει πολλαπλά επίπεδα, διακοσμημένα με σιντριβάνια.

A weekend in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia
Yerevan is the capital of Armenia, a country located in the Caucasus, bordering Georgia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran. It is largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
In addition to this video, also check out my blog post 10 reasons why I fell in love with Yerevan, Armenia:
In this video, you will see Yerevan's most important sights and tourist attractions, including the following:
Republic Square can be considered the main square of Yerevan. The Government House, the History Museum and the National Gallery, the Marriott Hotel and several other government buildings are located on this huge square. Originally designed by Alexander Tamanyan in 1924, Republic Square is the favorite hangout of the locals. With its unique pink neoclassical buildings and the reflecting pool, Republic Square can easily be considered Yerevan’s architectural highlight. What I found remarkable about this square was the unified architectural style – all buildings share the same pink-ish and yellow-ish neoclassical design.
The Cascade is a staircase that connects Yerevan’s center (Kentron) with the Monument neighborhood. It consists of multiple levels and a total of 572 steps. Apart from its architectural magnificence, the Cascade offers sweeping views of the city and, on clear days, mighty Mount Ararat in the background.
The Cafesjian Center for the Arts is an arts museum located within the Cascade complex. It offers a variety of exhibitions and dozens of modern and contemporary sculptures by well-known international sculptors. The sculptures are scattered around Cascade Park, the green area in the lower section of the Cascade complex.

Armenian FOOD & WINE TOUR on SARYAN WINE STREET + Sightseeing | Yerevan, Armenia
My first day in Armenia continued with more exploration of the capital city of Yerevan! Come along with me as I go on an amazing Armenian food and wine tour and go sightseeing in Yerevan!
Armenia Travel:
Lusine:
My adventure started at the Mother Armenia statue. She is located at a viewpoint where you can see the entire city and Mount Ararat, which is located in Turkey and is where Noah’s Ark landed.
Neaby is the Eternal Flame. It’s dedicated to the people who lost their lives in World War II. Armenia was part of the Soviet Union at the time. The views over the city are beautiful!
My guide, Gayane, showed me Victory Alley, the alley dedicated to the heroes of WWII. There are big plaques made of volcanic rock called tuff. On the plaques, the names of the heroes are inscribed in both Armenian and Russian.
There’s also lots of Soviet machinery, including a huge divisional gun, a fighter jet, a missile, and a cannon.
From there, we drove a bit and stopped at a statue of Alexander Tamanian, an architect known for his work in Yerevan. There’s also an incredible monument called Cascade, which was made to look like a stone waterfall. There’s also a unique lion sculpture made of tires and a statue of a chubby Roman warrior by Colombian artist Fernando Botero from 1985.
The Cascade has 572 steps and is made of travertine, a type of limestone. There are also beautiful fountains and sculptures there! It’s an empty, calm area that’s free of tourists. You can take escalators to the top and see more plazas, artwork, and fountains along the way. You can get epic views of Yerevan from the top!
Then, we headed to Republic Square and Northern Avenue, where there are lots of restaurants, shops, and retail. There’s a car there that’s also a souvenir shop! Lots of people sign the car, so I did as well.
All around us were beautiful buildings made of orange and rose tuff stone. They included government buildings and the National Gallery. The fountains there dance with the music. Then, we headed to Saryan Street for dinner and wine!
The first wine place that opened there is In Vino. You can buy and drink wine there. One Wine Days, they shut down the street and have a festival! They have Old World, New World, and Armenian wines.
I tried the Alluria, which is made from 2 Armenian grapes. It wasn’t sweet but was very different and had a good body. It was strong and I liked it a lot!
Next, we headed to Wine Time Restaurant. I started with a lighter, delicious, semi-sweet Voskevaz wine. Then, we started with beet root paste with chips, fig paste, grilled peppers with tomato, and dolmas. Dolmas are beef and rice wrapped in grape leaves.
The fig paste on the crispy bread was like a jam. I liked the beet root paste, too! Sour cream with the fig paste had a nice balance of sweet and salty. The dolma with sour cream had more beef than rice, which I liked a lot. Then, I tried eggplant and tomato with an Armenian sour cream called rejan. It’s a dense cream and isn’t too buttery.
I loved the flatbread with the beet root paste as well. It cracks easily, so you have to dig in to get it! Next was a better, drier Voskevaz wine and a delicious grilled tomato!
Next, we stopped at Armat Café Restaurant, an open-air restaurant/wine bar. I had another super strong, full-bodied wine as a nightcap!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my Armenian food and wine tour in Yerevan! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food adventures!

Armenia is a nation, and former Soviet republic, in the mountainous Caucasus region straddling Asia and Europe. Among the earliest Christian civilizations, it’s defined by religious sites including the reconstructed Greco-Roman Temple of Garni and 4th-century Etchmiadzin Cathedral, headquarters of the Armenian Church. Another pilgrimage site is Khor Virap Monastery, in the foothills of Mt. Ararat, just across the border with Turkey.
