In 1902, the first railway line was built to Yerevan, connecting the city with Alexandropol (Gyumri) and Tiflis (Tbilisi). The actual station building was built in 1956. 

​

The building of Yerevan Railway Station is a Neo-classical, small scale version of Soviet skyscrapers such as Moscow State University or Warsaw Culture Palace, with a high spire serving as an axis of symmetry, based on a design by the artist Martiros Sarian and depicting a five-pointed Soviet star above Mount Ararat with a bunch of grapes and ears of wheat below. 

​

The Railway Station building dominates Sasoun Square, featuring the statue of David of Sasoun (hero of the Armenian epic tale) as a centrepiece. The station is located in Erebuni, one of the twelve districts of Yerevan, taking its name from the Urartian fortress.
