One of the main attractions of the capital of Armenia is the memorial complex of Tsitsernakaberd. Located on the southeastern hill of the Park, towering over the gorge of the river Hrazdan, a memorial was built in memory of the victims of the 1915 genocide

The idea of creating the complex was built in 1965 in the 50-th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Construction of the memorial lasted two years. The opening ceremony of the monument took place in November 1967, on the 47-year-old anniversary of Soviet Armenia.

The total area of the memorial complex is 4500 sq. m. It consists of three main parts, namely, the obelisk, the temple of eternity, and a memorial wall. Leading to the monument the road passes near a memorial wall made of smooth basalt stones. On the wall you can see the engraved names of cities and villages of Armenia, whose residents were victims of brutal Turkish crimes.

The next element of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex is skyrocketing 44-meter high granite stele, symbolizing the survival and revival of the Armenian people. Stela separated by a deep vertical cleft and symbolizes the tragic and violent scattering of Armenians, and also shows the desire for unity of the Armenian people. The Central composition of the memorial complex is the mausoleum, built of located on a circle of twelve pillars, representing the twelve provinces that are members now part of Turkey. Inside the mausoleum of eternal fire, sound mournful melodies.

Every year on April 24 hundreds of thousands of people climb to the memorial complex to lay the eternal fire flowers in memory of the victims of the genocide.

On a hill near the Tsitsernakaberd memorial is a Museum of genocide, created in 1995 by architects Mkrtchyan and Malasana. The main feature of the Museum is that it is located underground.
