A five-minute walk from the Republic Square up Abovyan Street will take you to the Charles Aznavour Square. Located in front of the Moscow Cinema House, it is one of the most gorgeous sights of downtown Yerevan. There is a beautiful fountain with Zodiac signs and a big chessboard. The latter is an eye-catching decoration that also gives chess-lovers the chance to stand on the 30 square meter chessboard and play chess.

The Charles Aznavour House Museum is located next to the upper part of Cascade. The museum building includes an open-air concert hall, as well as Aznavour’s apartment and the museum itself. The exhibition includes Aznavour's record discs, albums, books, music awards, posters and photographs. The museum is a gift from the Armenian people to its great son. It opened in 2011, when the world renowned French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour cut the ribbon of the museum in the presence of then French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
