Laura Friedman http://www.latimes.com/socal/glendale-news-press/opinion/tn-gnp-me-commentary-friedman-20171116-story.html One of my favorite parts of the tour was visiting Cascade. Located in the heart of Yerevan, the beautiful staircase of Cascade led us to the most striking view of the city below.

The center has a great garden surrounded with cafes and souvenir shops. The garden is decorated with the eye-catching works of the world-famous Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero, known for his chubby cats, women and men.

After some quality time at cafes with a panorama of Botero sculptures, the art galleries at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts located in the complex is a good next stop. Planned in the Soviet era by architect Tamanian, the building gained its final shape in 2002. It now serves both cultural and recreational purposes.

While his work and legacy permeate much of the core, the most dramatic and unusual evidence has to be the Cascade, which is essentially a giant staircase and garden linking the city’s cultural centre up a mountain to the northern, residential neighbourhood of Monument.

The main attraction is the Cascade complex, that serves as the Cafesjian Museum of Art - a place full of really interesting contemporary art by international artists, from the collection of the founder. Lots of art pieces are located either in the park leading to the Cascade, in the stairs of the complex or inside, where the escalator is (entrance on the left side). The city is also full of various monuments of famous Armenians or other random art installations.
