I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Cascade Complex in Yerevan, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the beauty and grandeur of this architectural masterpiece.

The Cascade Complex is a true gem nestled in the heart of Yerevan. Its unique design, combining cascading staircases with modern art installations, creates a harmonious blend of aesthetics and culture. The stunning views of the city from various levels of the complex are simply breathtaking, providing an excellent backdrop for memorable photos.

As I ascended the stairs, I was delighted to discover an array of art galleries showcasing both local and international artists. The exhibitions were thoughtfully curated, and I found myself immersed in a world of diverse artistic expressions. The blend of contemporary and traditional art forms was truly inspiring.

One of the highlights of my visit was the Cafesjian Sculpture Garden, located at the top of the Cascade. The beautifully landscaped garden features an impressive collection of sculptures by renowned artists. It was a peaceful oasis where I could relax and appreciate the art amidst the tranquil surroundings.

The amenities at Cascade Complex were excellent. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of seating areas where visitors could rest and soak in the atmosphere. The staff members were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with any queries or recommendations.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a photography lover, or simply looking for a unique place to visit in Yerevan, the Cascade Complex is an absolute must-see. It offers a perfect blend of art, culture, and natural beauty, making it an enriching experience for visitors of all ages.

I highly recommend taking the time to explore the Cascade Complex during your visit to Yerevan. It exceeded all my expectations and left me with unforgettable memories. Don't miss out on this remarkable attraction—it truly is a cultural treasure!

The Cascade complex is a magnificent and huge staircase located in Armenia that connects the center of Yerevan to Haftnak Park and Monument Street. Inside this complex, an electric staircase system is installed according to the height of the building, and it is a suitable option for those tourists who are not interested in climbing stairs, find it too tiring or lack the necessary ability to walk. Currently, the Kafsjian Art Museum is located in the interior of this very large building, which is known as the thousand-step building among Iranians. Join Kojaro for a brief introduction to the history of the construction of this building and to know the works of art in the collection.

The incredibly beautiful view that opens to the city of Yerevan from the top of this building is a clear reason for the presence of many tourists every day and in all seasons of the year. The thousand-step building is always witnessing the presence of eager travelers and tourists from all over the world, even in the cold days of winter. Although the number of visitors in the winter season is never equal to the summer days; However, this building is considered one of the rare tourist attractions in the world, which tourists come to visit even in cold weather.

It is interesting to know that many tourists decide to climb the stairs of the complex even in rainy weather and it doesn't matter to them whether it is a summer or heavy rain!

This magnificent building always attracts people of all walks of life. A group of people consider this place to be a perfect place for a complete rest, and another group comes to it for relaxation. Despite the presence of a large number of visitors, the Thousand Steps Building is considered a peaceful and pleasant place for the elderly. Many young people in love choose this place as a place to break the fence of loneliness and imagine a new and shared life. Even heartbroken people choose this collection to forget the past and draw a new horizon in...

The Cascade is a giant stairway made of limestone in Yerevan, Armenia. It links the downtown Kentron area of Yerevan with the Monument neighborhood. Designed by architects Jim Torosyan, Aslan Mkhitaryan, and Sargis Gurzadyan the construction of the cascade started in 1971 and was partially completed in 1980.

Inside the Cascade, underneath the exterior steps, are seven escalators that rise along the length of the complex. There are also exhibit halls connected to some of the landings along the escalators which compose the Cafesjian Museum of Art.

The exterior of The Cascade features multiple levels adorned with fountains and modernist sculptures from the Cafesjian collection. The stairs afford walkers unobstructed views of central Yerevan and Mount Ararat. At the base of the Cascade is a garden courtyard with statues by contemporary sculptors such as Botero, Lynn Chadwick, and Barry Flanagan.

There are a number of cafes and restaurants on both sides of the Cascade frequented by locals and tourists. Classical and jazz concerts often take place at the Cascade during spring, summer and early autumn, with spectators sitting...

Who knew if you go on an overnight train from Tbilisi, Georgia to Armenia you would wake up to an underrated destination in Eurasia/ the Southern Caucasus. I found my experience in the overnight train pretty interesting. I booked a sleeping compartment and had to share with one other person as a solo traveler. There is no female compartments, but I went with it. However I met a new friend and my worries were eliminated. . Next I woke up to a new country my 67th country @armenia.travel where I got to see a UNESCO World Heritage site, so a day trip with @getyourguide to explore Garni Temple, Gerghard Monastery, and see a hidden gem of basalt columns called the Symphony of Stones, that reminded me of the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. . In three days and two nights I fit in a lot to try and learn more about Armenia. I visited the Armenian Genocide Museum and monument as well. Not only that I got to experience the Armenian National Ballet at the National Ballet and Opera Theatre. If you are looking to experience some art be sure to visit the Cascade Complex a massive staircase with 6 terraces filled with art, sculptures, and the @cca.yerevan.official before heading to watch sunset from the Memorial to the 50th Anniversary of October Revolution. . Armenia is filled with cool cafes, great food, and it felt safe traveling there solo. Fun facts about Armenia I learned. . 1) Yerevan is one of the oldest cities in the world. Founded in 782 BC. 2) Armenia has its’ own alphabet. 3) They say it is the first country to adopt Christianity. I didn’t know much about this region, but it truly made me want to go back to learn more and visit the many monasteries as well as Mt Ararat and Lake Sevan. . When you think of Armenia what do you think? For me I found it a place I for sure want to come back to visit more of. . This country is full of surprises and while it maybe small it has a lot to offer. Way more than I could fit in 3 days. .

At first sight it is difficult to define its genre: it is neither a monument nor a building. To put it simply the Cascade is the original decoration of the city in the form of unique architectural composition. The Cascade is a system of huge staircases gracefully connecting the downtown areas and the residential areas, located on the surrounding hills. All together it looks like an enormous spectacular modernist sculpture. Huge flights of stairs with fountains run uphill, crowned with the obelisk of the Revived Armenia. The top of the Cascade can be reached by a long set of escalators, and opens up a view of Yerevan and Mount Ararat in the distance. The Opera House and other notable buildings are also easily visible from the very heights. There are several levels as you descend, featuring fountains and more art.

The Cascade in Yerevan is an architectural wonder that truly takes your breath away. The massive stairs and fountains are simply mesmerizing. With 572 steps connecting each level, the intricacy of the design is truly impressive. I was thrilled to discover that there are elevators and escalators available to make exploring the Cascade a breeze. It was exciting to see the top of the Cascade, even if it is still under construction. The anticipation of the finished product only adds to the charm of this already stunning attraction. The array of cafes and restaurants lining both sides of the Cascade adds to the experience, providing the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Whether you're a local or a tourist, a visit to the Cascade is an absolute must. It's a sight to behold and a true testament to the architectural prowess of Yerevan. Don't miss out on this amazing destination!
