Monument to the founders of Rostov-on-Don, Bronze monument near Bolshaya Sadovaya Street, Rostov-on-Don, Russia
The monument features five bronze figures including Alexander Rigelman, Ivan Somov, Vasily Hastatov, Danila Yefremov, and a Cossack standing on a platform.
The sculptural composition commemorates the establishment of the Saint Dimitri fortress in 1749, which later developed into the modern city of Rostov-on-Don.
This bronze ensemble presents the founders examining construction plans while Ataman Yefremov sits on a cannon and a Cossack holds a flag.
The monument stands on a four-step platform offering visitors an opportunity to observe the detailed craftsmanship of sculptor Sergei Oleshnya.
The five-ton bronze structure incorporates architectural elements designed by V. Fomenko, depicting the exact moment of the city planning process.
