Nikolsky Garden, Garden near St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Nikolsky Garden stretches across a green space adjacent to the St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral, featuring walking paths and benches throughout its grounds.
Established in 1874, the garden became an essential part of the St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral complex, which served as the main shrine for Russian naval forces.
The garden contains the Tsushima obelisk from 1908, which commemorates Russian sailors who perished during the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War.
Visitors can access the garden throughout the year and combine their visit with the exploration of the nearby St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral.
Memorial plaques within the garden complex honor crews of Soviet submarines, including those from K-278 Komsomolets and K-141 Kursk vessels.
