Kond is a hidden gem within the walls of Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan. The oldest quarter in Yerevan is often overlooked by tourists who come to the capital. However, it’s beautiful, quirky, and a historic Yerevan treasure that’s worth the little detour.

In fact, it’s astonishing to recognize that the current urban fabric of Kond has remained the same for centuries and that the streets have preserved their same layout from the 17th century. It’s no surprise that you will find surprising architectural remains and historical gems here and there while strolling down the narrow streets of the oldest district of Yerevan. Walking around Kond is like taking a trip back in time!

Historic Yerevan streets and homes in Kond. They’re unlike anywhere in Yerevan.
Old stairs and narrow alleys from Proshyan, Saryan, Paronyan, and Leo streets will lead you into this hidden city within a city. Once you’re in, it almost feels like it’s a completely different place, with the wooden doors, broken buildings, asymmetric bricks, and tight and narrow labyrinthine roads. Welcome to the oldest, most Armenian historic district in Yerevan.
