Vartanants Square

Vartanants Square (Vartanants Hraparak) or Vardanants Square, is the large central town square in Gyumri, Armenia. It is bordered by Abovyan street from the west, Gai street from the north, Shahumyan street from the east and Vahan Cheraz street from the south. It has a rectangular shape (280 by 140 meters). The square was known as May Uprising Square, named after the failed Bolshevik uprising against the Dashnak government of the First Republic of Armenia in May 1920. The square was opened during the 1930s under Soviet rule, based on the original plan of Alexander Tamanian and the revised plan of D. Chislian.
