Rest Place of Peter I in Poltava, Military memorial obelisk in central Poltava, Ukraine.
The granite column stands decorated with military symbols including a helmet, shield, and sword on a rectangular base in downtown Poltava.
Governor-General Prince Nikolay Repnin initiated the construction of this monument in 1817 to mark where Peter I rested after the Battle of Poltava.
The monument represents the intersection of Ukrainian and Russian military heritage through its architectural elements and symbolic decorations.
Visitors can observe the historical cannons embedded in the ground around the monument's perimeter as part of its protective barrier.
The original bronze elements of the monument were removed during the German occupation between 1941 and 1943, leading to a reconstruction in the 1950s.
