The Fountain of David of Sasun is one of Yerevan's most forceful public monuments, showing the hero of Armenia's national epic on horseback outside the railway station. The figure is all motion and defiance, a very different kind of city symbol from the formal squares and Soviet-era civic buildings nearby.
It is a quick stop, but a worthwhile one if you are interested in Armenian identity and public art. The monument's location at the station gives it an everyday audience, and the epic subject connects modern Yerevan to a much older storytelling tradition.
