Russian Monument of San Stefano, Eastern Orthodox monument in Yeşilköy, Turkey
The Russian Monument of San Stefano combined architectural elements of Orthodox church domes with military memorial features near the Marmara Sea coast.
The monument, constructed in 1894, commemorated 5,000 Russian soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War and marked the location of the Treaty of San Stefano.
The structure represented Russian Revival architecture through its Orthodox design elements, reflecting the religious and military presence in late Ottoman territories.
The monument stood at coordinates 40.96156 latitude and 28.81106 longitude until its destruction in 1914 at the start of World War I.
The demolition of this monument was captured on film by soldier Fuat Uzkinay, marking the first documented instance of Turkish cinematography.
