Mount Ararat Square (Buenos Aires)
Mount Ararat Square (Buenos Aires)

Mount Ararat Square (Spanish: Plazoleta Monte Ararat) is a small park situated in the neighbourhood of Palermo, Buenos Aires. Dedicated to the Armenian community in Argentina, the square was placed in 1983, two years after the consecration of the Armenian Cathedral of Our Lady of Narek, lying just across of Mount Ararat square, on Charcas Street. Since its inauguration in March 1998, a monumental fountain sits on its northwestern tip, facing Jerónimo Salguero Street, composed by six triangular, marble-faced, red ochre granite slabs, said on the accompanying bronze plaque to represent Mount Ararat, but in disposition somewhat resembling the Tsitsernakaberd memorial in Yerevan. Some sources claim that this monument is indeed a replica of the Tsitsernakaberd of Yerevan. The Spanish text of the dedication bronze plaque itself proclaims that the monument was made to allegorise Mount Ararat, and some of the sources indicate this as well.The initiative towards the erection of this monument came in 1988 from the Senator for the Federal District Fernando de la Rúa (Unión Cívica Radical), though the draft law expired before being treated in Congress. As Chief of Government of the City of Buenos Aires, in 1998, De la Rúa - who was to become President of Argentina on the next year - proceeded to realise this belated project of his, inaugurating the square's fountain with the presence of Hovhannes Bedros XVIII, the Armenian Catholic Catolicos-Patriarch of Cilicia, and Vartán Waldir Boghossian, the Catholic Bishop for the Eparchy of the Armenians of Saint Gregory of Narek in Buenos Aires, and the attendance of notables and residents of the neighbourhood.

The Our Lady of Narek Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Narek ) also called Armenian Cathedral of Our Lady of Narek (Catedral Armenia de Nuestra Señora de Narek) is an Armenian Catholic cathedral church that is located in the Charcas street in the city of Buenos Aires the capital of Argentina. The congregation follows the Armenian rite and is in full communion with the Pope. It is one of the five Catholic cathedrals in Buenos Aires, others following the Roman rite (Metropolitan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity and the Military Cathedral), Maronite Rite (Cathedral of St. Maron), Ukrainian rite (Our Lady of Patrocinio Cathedral). It should not be confused with the Armenian Cathedral of St. Gregory the Enlightener (Armenian Apostolic Church). The property on which the present structure was built was purchased in 1942 where a small chapel operated, the work of the new church was developed between 1971 and 1981 when it was officially consecrated. In 1983, the open space right in front of the church was established as Mount Ararat Square; in 1998, a monumental fountain representing Mount Ararat was inaugurated, with the attendance of the Armenian Catholic Bishop Vartán Waldir Boghossian. The temple is the main church of the Armenian Eparchy of San Gregory of Narek in Buenos Aires (Eparchia Sancti Gregorii Narekiani Bonaërensis Armenorum) created in 1989 by the bull "Cum Christifideles ritus Armeni in Republica Argentina" of the then Pope John Paul II to meet the religious needs of the local Armenian Catholic community. The church is under the pastoral responsibility of Bishop Pablo Hakimian.
