Domenico Trezzini, Bronze monument at University Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The bronze statue depicts architect Domenico Trezzini standing in professional attire with architectural drawings and construction tools from the 18th century.
Installed in 2014, the monument honors the Swiss architect who created numerous structures in Saint Petersburg during Peter the Great's reign from 1703.
The statue represents the connection between European architectural traditions and Russian building techniques that shaped Saint Petersburg's identity in the 1700s.

The statue marks the exact location where Trezzini designed the Peter and Paul Cathedral, which became the first stone building in Saint Petersburg.
