Ростральная колонна

The Rostral Column stands 32 meters tall on the waterfront, constructed from red bricks with naval decorative elements featuring ship prows.

The column follows the ancient Roman architectural tradition of rostral columns, which displayed the bronze rams of captured enemy ships as war trophies.

The structure incorporates maritime symbols and sculptures at its base, representing the naval heritage and maritime trade importance of Vladivostok.

During city celebrations and national holidays, the torch at the top of the column becomes illuminated, visible from multiple points across the port.

The internal structure contains a stone spiral staircase leading to the upper platform, where the fuel system supplies the ceremonial flame.
