Matinov's fountain

On the way to “Rotonda” take a look at an interesting, decorated fountain, which was installed more than a century ago.

This ornament memorial fountain was installed in 1880 by Vahan Matinov. Previously, such fountains were much more common, as affluent and famous families installed them in the quarters of the old city in memory of their families. The Matinovs belonged to that category, and they moved to Dilijan and Ijevan. It is known that Vahan Matinov opened a grocery store in the city.

The house of the Matinovs (Dilijan citizens call it “Matnants”) was situated right opposite the fountain.
