Monument to Andrew the Apostle

The 6-meter-tall monument depicts Saint Andrew wearing an apostolic church cowl and holding a Latin cross in the center of the city.

The monument's opening ceremony in September 2003 gathered Don Cossacks, Zaporozhian Cossacks, and students from Rostov Maritime College at Saint Andrew Square.

The statue stands near Holy Trinity Church, reflecting the deep connection between Saint Andrew and the Christian traditions of Southern Russia.

The black labradorite pedestal features carved inscriptions about Saint Andrew's life, with a five-step ladder leading to the platform.

This representation of Andrew the Apostle stands as the sole monument dedicated to this religious figure in Southern Russia.
