Monument to Nizami Ganjavi in Saint Petersburg, Bronze monument at Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The monument features Nizami Ganjavi seated on a bench under an arch while holding a book, representing his literary contributions.
The bronze sculpture was inaugurated in 2002 as a gift from Azerbaijan to Saint Petersburg during the city's 300th-anniversary celebrations.
The memorial honors Nizami Ganjavi, a 12th-century Persian poet whose literary works influenced writers throughout Eastern and Central Asia.
Located between houses 25 and 27 on Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, the 5-meter tall monument stands as a testament to international cultural exchange.
Azerbaijani sculptor Gerush Babayev, an alumnus of Saint Petersburg Art and Industry Academy, designed this oriental-style bronze creation.
