Аrchitects: Narek Sargsyan and others
Europe Square is located in the central part of
Northern Avenue. Its construction took place between 2001 and 2007, with a
design project led by architect Narek Sargsyan.
On March 19, 2019, the Yerevan Council of Elders
officially named the square to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the
Council of Europe (May 5, 1949). The naming ceremony was attended by Liliane
Maury Pasquier, President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe (PACE), and Yerevan Mayor Hayk Marutyan, who presented her with the
Council of Elders' decision to name the square.
The circular square is surrounded by residential
buildings, shopping centers, and service facilities. One of the area’s columns
features a trilingual sign (in Armenian, English, and French) with the name
“Europe Square.”
