Enjoy a panoramic view of the city and admire a symbol of Armenia at Victory Park and Statue of Mother Armenia, a green area overlooking Yerevan. The monumental, 51 m (167 ft) metal figure of a sword-bearing woman stands on a huge basalt pedestal resembling a three-nave Armenian basilica. The pedestal houses a military museum commemorating World War II Victory Day. Take a turn around the green grounds, rent a paddleboat in the manmade lake, or visit the onsite amusement park.
