Aliaksandraŭski Garden Square, Garden square in central Minsk, Belarus.
Aliaksandraŭski Garden Square is a spacious park space in central Minsk with wide tree-lined paths and numerous seating areas throughout. At its center stands a fountain with a sculpture of a boy and a swan, created by an Italian artist.
The square developed in the 1870s from an empty site next to a church and was transformed into a formal garden area. This transformation made it an important public space in the growing city.
The square is named after Saint Alexander and serves as a gathering place where people rest under mature trees or walk toward nearby theaters and cultural buildings. It functions as a green retreat in the city center where local life unfolds throughout the day.
The square is centrally located where several main streets meet and is easily accessible on foot from the city center. Visitors can find seating throughout the grounds and can explore the site in any season, with the tree-lined paths being particularly pleasant in warm weather.
The fountain at the center was designed by an Italian artist and relates to the introduction of artesian wells in the city. This monument commemorates an important technical development that changed how Minsk accessed water.
