About Aram Street

Aram Street is one of the oldest streets of modern Yerevan, in the central Kentron district. It is named after Aram Manukian, leader of the 1915 Van Resistance and a founder of the First Republic of Armenia. It runs from Khanjyan Street in the southeast to Mashtots Avenue in the northwest, passing the Yerevan Vernissage market, the National Gallery of Armenia and Missak Manouchian Park. Opened in 1837 as Tsarskaya Street, it was renamed after Spandaryan in 1921 and regained Manukian's name after independence in 1991.

What's inside

Aram Manukian lived from 1917 to 1919 in the building at Aram Street 9, designed by architect Boris Mehrabyan and dating from 1910. After independence most of the street's historic buildings were demolished or turned into modern apartment blocks by adding floors; the few preserved ones stand mainly on the stretch between Abovyan Street and Mashtots Avenue. The city's 'Old Yerevan' plan to rebuild historic buildings along this stretch was revived in April 2013, when reconstruction of some old buildings began.
