BUILDER EAGLE - THE SOUTHWESTERN ENTRANCE OF YEREVAN


1966


State index: 1.7.8
Architect: Rafael Israelyan
Sculptor: Ara Harutyunyan

The monument is located along the Yerevan-Etchmiadzin highway and was constructed in 1966. The monument features three large, parallel gables with triangular outlines, all connected by a central bronze sculpture of an eagle with outstretched wings.
The eagle is depicted with a steady gaze and detailed wings. Its head is adorned with a sun sculpture, and a grape leaf, a symbol of Armenia, is shown on its chest. The eagle grasps construction tools— a straight wire and a hammer— in its claws, symbolizing the strength and creative spirit of the Armenian people. The height of the monument is 15 meters.
