Suvorov monument in Saint Petersburg
Suvorov monument in Saint Petersburg, Bronze statue near Field of Mars, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The bronze sculpture stands 3.37 meters tall on a pink granite pedestal, depicting General Suvorov in classical armor with sword and shield.
Emperor Paul I commissioned the monument in 1799 to honor Suvorov's Italian campaign, making it the first memorial dedicated to a non-royal Russian figure.
The monument represents Suvorov as Mars, the Roman god of war, with reliefs of Faith, Hope, and Love adorning the altar beneath.
The memorial sits at Suvorov Square between the Marble Palace and Saltykov Mansion, accessible from Nevsky Prospekt metro station via the Griboedov Canal.
The statue survived World War II without protection when plans to hide it failed because the cellar window was too small for transportation.
