Monument to Allies of World War II

The Monument to Allies of World War II is a memorial on Poklonnaya Hill made from stone, bronze, and granite materials. The structure was designed by architect Aleksandr Kuzmin and features layered architectural elements that honor the nations fighting against Nazi Germany.

The memorial stands at a location where Napoleon waited for Moscow's surrender in 1812, giving the site deep military significance. It was later erected to honor the role of Allied nations in defeating Nazi Germany.

The monument serves as a central gathering point for annual Victory Day celebrations, drawing thousands of visitors to honor the Allied forces.

The memorial is easily accessible via Park Pobedy metro station and sits within a large memorial park with open pathways and rest areas. Visitors should allow time to explore the grounds, and while the site remains accessible in winter, milder seasons offer a more comfortable experience.
