Zvonnitsa in Prokhorovka Battlefield

The 59-meter-tall white stone bell tower stands at the center of Prokhorovka Battlefield, featuring four bronze bells and a golden sphere at its top.

The memorial marks the location of a major tank battle during World War II in 1943, where Soviet and German forces engaged in intense combat.

Each year on May 9th, the memorial bells ring four times to honor soldiers, civilians, children, and the Russian Orthodox Church during Victory Day celebrations.

Visitors can access the memorial complex via regular bus services from Belgorod city, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.

The memorial incorporates four sculptures of soldiers from different time periods in Russian history, representing the continuity of military tradition across generations.
