Monument to Nicholas I, Bronze equestrian statue at Saint Isaac's Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Monument to Nicholas I features a six-meter tall bronze statue of the emperor mounted on his horse Amalatbek, standing on an elliptical pedestal.
Inaugurated in 1859, this monument commemorates Emperor Nicholas I who ruled Russia from 1825 to 1855, leading modernization efforts across the Russian Empire.
The pedestal displays four allegorical female figures created by sculptor Robert Zaleman, representing Strength, Wisdom, Justice, and Faith in white Italian marble.
