Vartanants Square (Armenian: Vartanants Hraparak Vartanants Hraparak) or Vardanants Square, is the large central town square in Gyumri. It has a rectangular shape (280 by 140 meters).
The square was known as the May Uprising Square (Armenian: Майисян Апстамбутюнь прагл), named after the failed Bolshevik uprising against the Dashnak government of the First Republic of Armenia in May 1920. The square was opened during the 1930s under the Soviet rule, based on the original plan of Alexander Tamanian and the revised plan of D. Chislian.
