Gyumri, formerly known by the following names in chronological order: Alexandropol, Kumayri, Gyumri, Leninakan, and Gyumri (again), is the capital of the Shirak province of Armenia, and a fortress of great strength.

The city was founded in the 5th century BC by the Greeks. This city suffered major damage in the 1988 earthquake, an earthquake so fierce, that it ruined large parts of Armenia. Gyumri is the second largest city in the Republic of Armenia.
