Iconic cultural sights of Armenia
The theme of the Armenian Genocide is one of the most painful for these people. On Tsitsernakaberd Hill, which means 'swallow's fortress' in Armenian, there is a memorial and a museum of the Armenian Genocide. They were built in the 60s of the 20th century. There is the 44-meter stele that symbolizes the will and desire to survive at any cost, which is typical for the Armenian people. The structure is split into 2 unequal parts. The smaller one symbolizes the people who lived in Armenia, and the bigger one is for those Armenians who were forced to leave their native country due to the tragic events of the genocide. There is also a museum of genocide. The building of two floors goes underground and occupies about 2000 square meters. There is an exhibition in it, where photographs and publications of German photographers are represented. The memorial complex was named one of 9 memorial museums of the world, which must be visited by everyone.
