Located in the courtyard of house No. 12 on Vagharshyan Street.

Vahagn is the god of courage, thunder, and war in the ancient Armenian pagan pantheon, one of the most powerful and revered gods of the Armenian pantheon, a symbol of strength, courage, and victory. According to legend, he engaged in single combat with dragons, personifying darkness, hence receiving the nickname Vishapakagh (Dragon Slayer).

The bronze sculpture is installed on a pedestal made of stone fragments and placed in the center of a small square basalt pool (8.0 × 8.0 m). The latter, in turn, connects to another rectangular basalt pool located at a lower level. Fountains are installed in the center of the lower pool. Vahagn is depicted at the moment of battle with the dragon. Water plays a significant role in the composition.
