Victory Square, Pedestrian zone in central Minsk, Belarus.

Victory Square is a rectangular square (225 by 175 m) on Independence Avenue, ending in a semicircle and divided into a round section and a forecourt. In the centre stands a 38-metre grey granite obelisk topped by a 3-metre bronze and smalt replica of the Order of Victory, with the Sacred Sword of Victory at its base. Two curved apartment buildings (1939–1947, architect R. Stoler) frame the square, and a parterre park with three residential buildings per side (1950–1956) runs along the avenue.

The square was laid out in the late 1930s, when architect R. Stoler began two curved apartment buildings facing the centre; they were finished in 1947 after wartime damage. Known as Kruglaya (Round) Square until November 1958, it received the 38-metre granite Victory Monument in 1954, built by architects G. Zagorski and U. Karol with sculptors Z. Azgur, A. Bembel and S. Selikhanau. In 1984 it was reshaped from round to oval for the metro exits.

Newlyweds traditionally have their photographs taken at the square, and holiday parades usually pass through it. Since 3 July 1984, Post No. 1 has been kept by armed forces members and by students of Minsk schools, with shifts of 10 to 20 minutes.

The square sits on Independence Avenue between Zakharau and Kisialiou streets, with a metro entrance on the square itself (Maskouskaya line). The pedestrian underpass links the monument to the Memorial Hall and the surrounding streets. Post No. 1 honour guard shifts last 10 to 20 minutes, from 9.00 to 17.00 in cold weather and to 18.00 in warm weather.

In 1984 the square was reshaped from a circle into an oval by architects B. Larchenko, B. Shkolnikov and K. Vyazgin to fit the metro exits, and the grown firs around the obelisk were replaced with grass lawns in 2003 after trains running beneath damaged the monument's stability.
