Sükhbaatar Square, Central public square in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Sükhbaatar Square serves as the main public space in Ulaanbaatar and is surrounded by important government buildings including the Parliament House and cultural institutions such as the Drama Theater.
On July 8, 1921, revolutionary leader Damdin Sükhbaatar and his troops entered the city at this location, marking a turning point in Mongolia's independence struggle and giving the square its current name.
The square hosts major national celebrations including the anniversary of the People's Revolution and serves as a focal point for patriotic ceremonies that reinforce Mongolian national identity and historical memory.
The square is located in the Sükhbaatar District at approximately 47.92 degrees north latitude and 106.92 degrees east longitude, making it easily accessible from other central parts of the city and a common starting point for tours.
An equestrian statue of Damdin Sükhbaatar stands at the center of the square while a large colonnade monument on the northern side honors Genghis Khan alongside Ögedei Khan and Kublai Khan in front of the Government Palace.
