Monument to Michael Andreas Barclay de Tolly in Riga, Bronze military monument in Esplanade Park, Latvia
The life-sized bronze statue depicts Field Marshal Barclay de Tolly wearing his military uniform and stands on a granite pedestal in central Riga.
The original monument from 1913 commemorating the commander of Russian forces against Napoleon was melted during World War I and replaced in 2001.
The monument represents the complex military heritage of Latvia, reflecting connections between Russian, German, and Scottish influences in the Baltic region.

The statue honors a military commander who implemented the scorched earth strategy against Napoleon, leading Russian forces despite his Baltic German heritage.
