The Aznavour Centre in Yerevan is a cultural institution dedicated to the life, music and legacy of the Armenian-French singer Charles Aznavour. It serves as a venue for exhibitions, performances and educational activities linked to Aznavour’s career and Armenian cultural heritage.

The centre hosts displays on Aznavour’s life and recordings and organises events, concerts and outreach programmes intended to promote music and theatre. It functions as both museum space and a small performance venue for related cultural programming.

The centre is located in Yerevan, Armenia’s capital, and acts as a focal point for visitors interested in Aznavour and in contemporary Armenian cultural projects.

• Purpose: The centre operates as a cultural and educational institution focused on the life and work of Charles Aznavour, offering exhibitions and public programming.

Bab Tuma sits inside the Old City of Damascus. From central Damascus, it is a short taxi ride or a walk if already in the old quarters. Visitors should check current travel advisories and local access conditions before planning a visit.

• Enter Bab Tuma via the narrow alleys to observe the layered architecture - Ottoman-era facades leaning against older Roman walls.
• Visit the Syriac Orthodox and Melkite churches nearby; the quarter's religious diversity is one of its enduring features.
• Avoid photographing clerics or private property without permission; the area contains still-living households and active congregations.
