Mother Armenia Mother Statue

This monument is a large statue of a woman situated on a hill west of Gyumri. Completed in 1975 by a group of sculptors, it serves as a symbol of national identity and resembles the Mother Armenia monument located in Yerevan. Travelers visit the site to see the sculpture and the surrounding views of the city and landscape.

Getting There

The statue is located on the outskirts of the city. From the center of Gyumri, it is accessible via local taxi or public transport. The trip typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the starting point and traffic conditions.

Visit Duration

Most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes at the site. This allows enough time to walk up to the monument and observe the surrounding area.

When to Visit

The site is outdoors and open to the elements, so it is best visited during the spring and autumn months to avoid extreme temperatures. Visiting during the late afternoon provides softer light for viewing the city from the hill. The area generally does not experience heavy crowds.
