Vapaudenpatsas, Bronze memorial statue in Hämeenpuisto, Tampere, Finland.
The Liberty Statue stands 4.2 meters tall on a 6.5-meter granite pedestal, featuring a nude male figure holding a raised sword.
The statue was established in 1921 by Viktor Jansson and Wäinö Palmqvist to commemorate the Battle of Tampere during the Finnish Civil War.
The statue's name Victor means winner in Latin, following classical Greek sculpture traditions in its representation of male physical strength.
The memorial is located at the intersection of Pirkan and Hämeenkatu streets, near Tampere's main library and Alexander Church.
The figure faces south with its head turned westward, positioned in a way that generated debate about its relationship to nearby workers' associations.
