Памятник М. П. Лазареву, Bronze monument to Admiral Lazarev in Sevastopol, Russia
Description

History
The monument was erected in 1867, roughly 16 years after Admiral Lazarev's death in 1851, honoring his decades of service to the Black Sea Fleet. Naval officers organized the fundraising campaign that made the monument's construction possible.

Admiral Lazarev held deep significance for Sevastopol's naval community as a celebrated commander of the Black Sea Fleet. The monument reflects how the city's maritime culture and pride in its naval leaders shaped the way people remembered their heroes.
Practical
The monument originally stood near the Lazarev Naval Barracks until it was relocated, with a commemorative stone now marking its original site. Visitors can easily approach the memorial from various points in the city's harbor district.
