On a hill above the city centre of Երևան, Armenia, you can find the Haghthanak park (victory park) – accessible on foot by climbing up the cascade complex. Here you will find green areas, an artificial lake, an amusement park with interesting old attractions. It also contains a 56 meters high monument visible from many parts of the city: the Mother Armenia commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
Inside the building underneath the statue, you can find the World War II museum. It includes pictures of Armenian heroes, weapons and also a diorama of the destroyed German capital. The museum is rather small and instead of an entrance fee, you will be asked for a donation. Outside old tanks and planes contribute to the topic, additionally, an eternal flame is burning. I found the style of the statue to be really impressive, but at least you should get here to enjoy the views of the city. If you dislike the steady walk up the hill you can take a minibus or a taxi.
