About this place: Yerevan
Yerevan (UK: YERR-ə-VAN, US: , -VAHN; Armenian: Երևան ; sometimes spelled Erevan) is the capital and largest city of Armenia, as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Situated along the Hrazdan River, Yerevan is the administrative, cultural, and industrial centre of the country, as its primate city. It has been the capital since 1918, the fourteenth in the history of Armenia and the seventh located in or around the Ararat Plain. The city also serves as the seat of the Araratian Pontifical Diocese, which is the largest diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church and one of the oldest dioceses in the world. The history of Yerevan dates back to the 8th century BC, with the founding of the fortress of Erebuni in 782 BC by King Argishti I of Urartu at the western extreme of the Ararat Plain. Erebuni was "designed as a great administrative and religious centre, a fully royal capital." By the late ancient Armenian Kingdom, new capital cities were established and Yerevan declined in importance. The city was mostly depopulated by the Great Surgun of 1603–05, when the Safavid Empire forcibly deported hundreds of thousands of Armenians to Iran. In 1679, the city was mostly destroyed by an earthquake, and then rebuilt on a smaller scale. In 1828, Yerevan became part of the Russian Empire, which led to the repatriation of Armenians whose ancestors had been forcibly relocated in the 17th century. After World War I, Yerevan became the capital of the First Republic of Armenia as thousands of survivors of the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire arrived in the area. The city expanded rapidly during the 20th century while Armenia was a part of the Soviet Union. In a few decades, Yerevan was transformed from a provincial town within the Russian Empire to Armenia's principal cultural, artistic, and industrial centre, as well as becoming the seat of national government. With the growth of the Armenian economy, Yerevan has undergone major transformation. Much construction has been done throughout the city since the early 2000s, and retail outlets such as restaurants, shops, and street cafés, which were rare during Soviet times, have multiplied. As of 2011, the population of Yerevan was 1,060,138, just over 35% of Armenia's total population. By 2022, the population further increased to 1,086,677. Yerevan was named the 2012 World Book Capital by UNESCO. Yerevan is an associate member of...

What is air quality like here?
Air quality in Yerevan registers 0% pressure on ClearSpot's scale. Monthly measurements from the Open-Meteo Air Quality API and WAQI network form the basis of this score. No documented exceedance of WHO 2021 guidelines was detected in the reference period.
Are there wind turbines nearby?
Wind turbine data for Yerevan: documents no wind turbines. At default ClearSpot thresholds (1.5 km sensitivity radius), the pressure score is 0%. You can adjust this radius on the live map to reflect your own sensitivity level.
How noisy is it?

How to read this place
This location shows a comparatively strong ClearSpot score at default settings: fewer of the indexed stressors are pushing hard at sensivities most people start with. Your own priorities can change that reading—see the guides below.
Short-term vs long-term
In the short term, spikes come from weather, pollen season, construction, or night lighting—use the live map when deciding whether to open a window or plan outdoor time.
Over months and years, patterns matter for where you settle: turbine proximity, chronic noise corridors, recurring pollen sources, and persistent air basins. The blog and data guides explain how each layer is built.
