Помнік князю Вячку і старэйшыне Меэлісу, Bronze statue in Town Hall Square, Tartu, Estonia
The monument features two standing figures representing Prince Vyachko and Elder Meelis, crafted by Estonian sculptor Olav Männi in bronze material.
The memorial commemorates the historical events of 1224, when Prince Vyachko and Elder Meelis defended Tartu against the forces of the Livonian Order.
The sculpture represents the connection between Estonian and Eastern Slavic cultures through its portrayal of significant medieval leadership figures.
The monument stands in the central part of Tartu near the Town Hall, making it accessible through multiple public transportation routes.
The statue incorporates traditional Estonian design elements in the clothing details of both figures, reflecting the regional artistic style of the 1980s.
