Freedom Monument, Monument in central Kaunas, Lithuania
The Freedom Monument stands 12.35 meters tall, featuring a bronze statue of Liberty holding a sword and golden laurel wreath atop a stone pedestal.
Sculptor Juozas Zikaras created the monument in 1928 to mark Lithuania's independence, but Soviet authorities removed it in 1950 before its restoration in 1989.
The monument appears on the Independence Medal and commemorative Litas coin, representing Lithuanian determination through bronze artistry and national symbolism.
The monument occupies a central position in Kaunas near the Vytautas the Great War Museum, with regular public transportation stops within walking distance.
The Freedom Monument's plaster copy remains in the White Hall of the Presidential Palace in Vilnius, connecting two major Lithuanian cities through art.
