About this experience
Many people are interested in the history of Armenia, but on my tour it will be presented to you from an unexpected angle. I will explain what makes Gyumri unique, what role it played in the development of the country, and how it was connected to the Russian Empire. I will talk about the great Gyumri poet and the pioneers of feminism. I will show you the modern life of Gyumri and describe the prospects that await it in the future.
What to expect
You will learn:
- What challenges the city faced throughout its existence
- How Alexander Suvorov is connected to one of the central temples of Gyumri, which survived two earthquakes
- Where the great Gyumri poet Avetik Isahakyan lived, whose poems inspired Sergei Rachmaninoff to write romance
You will see:
- A street with a 19th-century brewery that supplied its products to the entire Russian Empire
- Vintage mansions of wealthy Alexandropol residents, whose destinies are closely intertwined with important historical events
- The building of a women's gymnasium from the tsarist era
- The museum of the Aslamazyan sisters, considered pioneers of feminism
