Facts
Constructed by the Komsomol of Armenia (Communist Union of Youth). |
Due to lack of funds the tower was built from citizens' donations and took 13 years to complete. |
The hotel was occupied in 1988 by Gyuran earthquake refugees, and was sold in 2003 for $740,000 to private hands. |
Scheduled for demolition in 2003, a public outcry led to plans to renovate the hotel and preserve the tower at a cost of $5 million. |
The tower includes a 1200 seat concert hall, a gymnasium and a 14-floor, 500 room hotel. |
The maize-shaped building is nicknamed by locals the 'corn-cob building'. |
