Monument to Nizami Ganjavi in Chișinău, Bronze monument in Chișinău, Moldova.
The Monument to Nizami Ganjavi features a bronze bust of the poet wearing traditional eastern attire and a turban, mounted on a red granite pedestal with eastern ornaments.
The monument opened in spring 2005 during President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Moldova and underwent renovation in 2012 to mark the 870th anniversary of Nizami's birth.
The monument celebrates Nizami Ganjavi, a 12th-century Persian poet known for his epic works including Khosrow and Shirin, which explore themes of love and mysticism.
Located in the center of Chișinău Municipality, the monument includes inscriptions in English that display the poet's name along with birth and death dates.
The collaboration between Azerbaijani artist Akif Asgarov and Moldovan architect Semen Shoyket resulted in this structure that connects Persian literature with Moldovan urban design.
