Monument commémoratif de Napoléon Ier, Bronze military statue in Place d'Austerlitz, Ajaccio, France.
The monument features Napoleon Bonaparte in military uniform, standing atop a granite pyramid with six steps flanked by bronze eagles.
The memorial was inaugurated in August 1938 following a public fundraising campaign initiated by General Dominique Leandri's committee in 1935.
The bronze statue represents a replica of Charles-Emile-Marie Seurre's work that previously adorned the Vendôme Column in Paris.
The monument stands in western Place d'Austerlitz, with inscriptions marking Napoleon's birth year 1769 and death year 1821.
The granite pyramid base includes two bronze eagles with spread wings mounted on pedestals, symbolizing imperial power and military strength.
