ARIA Landmarks and Headings

Hello All,
I have some confusion regarding differences in ARIA Landmarks and page
headings as they seem to serve almost the same purpose.
A website I am working on contains a header, navigation bar on left side,
main content and a footer.
Headings are currently provided for a section in top header bar, navigation
links and main content in the webpage.

If a website provides proper headings to structure content and provides
sufficient navigation, then are ARIA Landmarks required?
