Armenian Genocide Memorial

Located in the courtyard of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Burgas, this memorial was erected in 1991. It consists of a traditional Armenian khachkar—a cross-stone—carved with the image of a boy who survived the genocide. Visitors come here to reflect on this historical event and view the specific stone-carving artistry of the khachkar.

Getting There

The memorial is situated within the city of Burgas. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your starting point.

Visit Duration

Because the memorial is a single monument located within a church courtyard, most visitors spend between 15 and 30 minutes at the site.
