Discover more about Singing Fountains

The Singing Fountains in Yerevan's Republic Square provide a mesmerizing spectacle, blending water, music, and light into a harmonious performance. As the sun sets, the fountains come alive, offering a choreographed show that appeals to all ages. The fountains' history dates back to the late 1960s, when Yerevan introduced the first singing and dancing fountains in the Soviet Union. Abram Abrahamyan, a talented engineer, designed the original light and sound show, which quickly became a beloved attraction. After a period of silence following the collapse of the USSR, the fountains were renovated in 2006 and reopened to the public. Thanks to French specialists, the fountains were modernized, enhancing their visual and auditory impact. Today, the fountains operate from late spring to mid-fall, with shows typically beginning around 9 PM. The repertoire includes classical music, jazz, rock, and pop, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience. Each performance culminates with Charles Aznavour's iconic song, "Eternal Love". The fountains are located near cafes and restaurants, making it easy to enjoy a meal or drink while watching the show. Republic Square, where the fountains are located, is considered the heart of Yerevan and a popular gathering spot.
