A small number of photos of monuments to Peter I have accumulated from trips around Russia :

Monument to Peter I. (The photo is quite old). A shopping center was piled up next to it, a bit of nearby space was combed. I will be in Voronezh - photograph.

Monument to Peter I on the Onega embankment
Monument to the founder of Petrozavodsk - Peter I.

Monument to Peter I in the park on the site of the mouth of the river Gzen (buried in a pipe). The monument was installed in 2009. Peter surprised me a lot - he usually relies on the anchor / sword, and in Novgorod - on the wheel!

St. Petersburg

King - carpenter
The gift of the Netherlands. A copy of the original, dismantled in 1918.
Located on the Admiralty Embankment, near the Admiralty.

Monument to Peter I on the territory of the Peter and Paul Fortress by the brilliant sculptor Shemyakin.

Monument to Peter I in front of the Engineer's Castle
Monument to Peter I in front of the Engineer Castle. Great-grandfather Pravnuk. By the way, this is the first monument in St. Petersburg to man. And the only one in the city (yes, perhaps, in Russia) is an equestrian statue in the Baroque style.

The Bronze Horseman is the most famous monument in St. Petersburg, one of the symbols of the city. On a giant boulder equestrian statue of Peter I - the founder of the city. Senate square.

Festive fireworks
Firework on the Day of the Navy. The finale of the festival on Senate Square, photo from the Bronze Horseman.
