Alexander I Statue in Taganrog, Bronze monument in Bank Square, Taganrog, Russia.

The statue stands on a three-part granite pedestal with five steps, depicting Emperor Alexander I holding a sword hilt and a scroll of laws.

The monument, unveiled in 1831, commemorates Emperor Alexander I who maintained strong connections with Taganrog and spent his final days in the city.

The sculpture incorporates symbolic elements such as winged angels and a serpent beneath the emperor's foot, representing triumph over Napoleonic forces.

The monument serves as a central reference point in Bank Square, situated opposite a Greek monastery selected by Empress Elizabeth Alexeievna.

The current statue is a 1998 reconstruction based on the original model preserved in the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg.
