The Great Stairs of Yerevan is one of the landmark buildings in Yerevan. It was originally built to highlight the greatness of socialism, so it is also called the Great Stairs of Socialism. In the end, due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the funding was cut off and it became an unfinished project. The title of the Great Stairs of Socialism has become a great irony. The current upper building was donated by an American-Armenian businessman named Kafisyan, and Kafisyan's personal art collection is displayed inside.
