Նավակ, Monument on Volga River embankment in Samara, Russia

The Ladya monument stands 20 meters tall, constructed from concrete with a shape that represents a white sailing boat gliding over waves.

Built in 1986 by architects I.B. Galakhov and A.A. Yankin, the monument commemorates the 400-year history of Samara as a river trade settlement.

The monument design reflects the historical importance of river vessels in Russian transportation, connecting generations of merchants who traveled along the Volga.

The interior space of the structure accommodates 200 visitors, offering views of the Volga River and the Zhiguli Mountains from its observation deck.

Located on cascading terraces that slope toward the river, the monument serves as a venue for city celebrations and firework displays.
