Onego
Onego is a gift from the Leningrad Region to Petrozavodsk in honor of the 300th anniversary of the city. Allegorically depicts the birth of a new outpost of Russia - the warrior descends from boat to shore, where a new city will be founded.

Performance characteristics: Height with a pedestal of 11.5 m, height of the figure of a warrior 7.5 m.

Rotunda
The rotunda is located on the left side of the embankment, if you look at Lake Onega. For the citizens of Petrozavodsk, this is a meeting place for lovers, and in the summer - parties for roller skaters and skaters.

Sculpture Fishermen
