Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad
Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad, 48-meter obelisk at Victory Square in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The bronze and granite monument features a broken ring design surrounding a central obelisk with sculptures depicting defenders at the base.
The memorial was constructed in 1974 to commemorate the resistance of Leningrad citizens during the 900-day siege in World War II.
The memorial hall exhibits maps, artifacts, and documentaries that tell the story of Leningrad's defense through multimedia installations.
Located near transportation routes from Pulkovo Airport, the monument includes an underground hall open for visitors throughout the year.
Gas torches illuminate engraved messages within the broken ring structure, creating visual effects against the granite surface at night.
