A Brief History of Yerevan

Ancient Foundations, Modern Resilience

Uncover the compelling story of Yerevan—Armenia’s capital and one of the world’s oldest continually inhabited cities. A Brief History of Yerevan takes you on a concise journey through millennia of survival, reinvention, and cultural pride in a city that stands as a testament to the endurance of the Armenian people.

From its roots as the Urartian fortress of Erebuni in 782 BCE to its emergence as the heart of modern Armenia, Yerevan has seen empires rise and fall. Persian, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, and Soviet forces have left their marks—but so has the indomitable spirit of its people. This accessible volume explores Yerevan’s transformation through history, conflict, and renewal.
