About Vanadzor


JuteVilla
Sovietization of Armenia, the city was renamed Kirovakan (Armenian: Կիրովական) in 1923, after the Bolshevik leader Sergey Kirov. With the independence of Armenia in 1991, Kirovakan was renamed Vanadzor.

The city is in a picturesque setting, with an attractive planned town centre. Mostly crumbling Soviet-era chemical factories dominate much of the valley below the city
