Kamensk-Uralsky Cannon, Artillery monument in Kamensk-Uralsky, Russia
The cast iron cannon stands on a granite pedestal near the Kamenka River dam, measuring 2.7 meters in barrel length with 2-meter diameter wheels.
Inaugurated in October 1967, the monument commemorates the Kamensk Iron Foundry, which produced artillery pieces used during the Russian campaign against Napoleon in 1812.
The monument displays four memorial plaques, including relief panels depicting military actions and inscriptions from Peter the Great's 1700 decree about cannon production.
The monument occupies a central location near Karl Marx Street, offering visitors access to a public park and clear views of the surrounding industrial landscape.
Three cannonballs positioned next to the artillery piece symbolize constant military readiness, while the monument appears on Kamensk-Uralsky's official coat of arms.
