The memorial was dedicated in 2015 to honor the 1.5 million Armenians who perished during the genocide of 1915-1923.
The memorial features a 16-foot tall tripod sculpture, symbolizing the traditional Armenian khachkar, or cross-stone, and is surrounded by a reflecting pool.
The design was a result of a competition won by architects from the Los Angeles-based firm, Alajajian Marcoosi Architects.
Pasadena is home to a significant Armenian-American community, making it a fitting location for the memorial.
The site hosts annual commemorative events and serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and preventing genocides.
