The seat of the Yerevan City Council is the Yerevan City Hall located on Argishti street at the Kentron district, facing the Square of Russia, the House of Moscow and the Yerevan Ararat Wine Factory. The construction of the building was completed in November 2004 during the period of Mayor Yervand Zakharyan, with a cost of AMD 3.1 billion. It was originally designed by architect Jim Torosyan. The construction was set at the beginning of the 1980s but stopped in 1991 due to financial difficulties. It remained unfinished until August 2003 when the construction process was continued and completed within 15 months. The city hall is a five-story building with a total area of 13,500 m2. The main entrance is topped with the traditional Armenian symbol of endless circles representing the eternity and the ancient Armenian Kenats Tsar tree representing life. It has a 47-metre-high rectangular clock tower with the word "ԵՐԵՎԱՆ" (YEREVAN) carved in Armenian script, decorated with traditional ornaments. The tower is surrounded with glassy walls at its top. The Yerevan History Museum is located in an attached building just to the west of the city hall. ==See also==
