    В центре Кафана, у пересечения всех дорог, на каменном стержне вознесен и насажен каменный памятник Давид-беку на лошади - знаменитому армянскому царю, воевавшему с турками. Лошадь и Давид-бек распластались по воздуху. Давид-бек увековечен в кирзовых сапогах, и лошадь у него выглядит очень натурально.
