Monument à Élisabeth Ire, Bronze memorial in Central District, Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
The statue represents Empress Elizabeth Petrovna standing in front of the Intercession Church, indicating the location of the original fortress with her hand.
The monument was erected in 2007 following a design competition to commemorate Elizabeth I, who established the Temernik customs house in 1749.
The monument includes detailed elements crafted by local artisans, such as the crown and earrings, reflecting the fashion of imperial Russia.
The memorial structure rises 7 meters high, combining a 3.5-meter bronze sculpture weighing 3 tons with a 3.7-meter granite pedestal of 50 tons.
The statue holds a decree in one hand while pointing toward the site of the fortress that formed the foundation of modern Rostov-on-Don.
