Republic Square is the central town square in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. 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 and the National Gallery, Armenia Marriott Hotel and 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.During the Soviet period it was called the Lenin Square and a statue of Vladimir Lenin stood at the square and military parades were held twice a year. After Armenia's independence Lenin's statue was removed and the square was renamed. It has been described as Yerevan's architectural highlight and the city's most outstanding architectural ensemble. Travel writer Deirdre Holding suggested that it is certainly one of the finest central squares created anywhere in the world during the 20th century.
