Мемориальный комплекс «Морякам — Авроровцам»
Мемориальный комплекс «Морякам — Авроровцам», Military memorial complex near Voronya Mountain in Villozi, Russia.
Description
The memorial complex dedicated to Aurora sailors is positioned on a southern slope and features nine artillery barrels from the ship's gun batteries. These cannons serve as physical reminders of the naval firepower that was deployed during the military conflict.
History
In September 1941, sailors from the Aurora cruiser established nine artillery positions on this slope to defend Leningrad against German attacks. The crews fought until running out of ammunition, marking a significant chapter in the city's wartime resistance.
Culture
The memorial honors sailors from the Aurora cruiser whose names appear on commemorative plaques throughout the site. These inscriptions help visitors connect with the individuals who served there during the naval defense.
Practical
The site is accessible year-round and visitors can explore the grounds at their own pace to examine the artillery pieces up close. Morning and early afternoon hours offer the best light for photography and viewing the slope-mounted installations clearly.
Did you know?
Visitors can view an original gun mount from the Aurora battery preserved at this site, showing how naval artillery was actually positioned during wartime operations. This single preserved element brings the technical reality of the deployment into clear view for anyone exploring the grounds.
