St. Prince Daniil

The 10-meter tall monument depicts a prince in medieval dress holding a scroll in his raised hand. The bronze figure stands on a granite base in the Danilovskaya district as a prominent landmark.

The granite base features bronze reliefs that depict scenes from the prince's life and tell his story. These carved details show important moments including the establishment of religious sites.
