St. Prince Daniil, Bronze monument in Danilovskaya district, Russia

The monument to Prince Daniil of Moscow stands in the square of Danilovskaya Ploshchad. It is a 10-metre bronze figure on a tall cylindrical granite pedestal decorated with ornaments. The prince wears rich princely robes; his left hand holds a church, his right a sheathed sword. A bas-relief on the pedestal bears the inscription: "Holy Right-Believing Grand Prince Daniil of Moscow 1261–1303."

The monument was unveiled in 1997 to honor a prince who ruled Moscow in the late 13th century. He is credited with founding several religious institutions that shaped the city in its early years.

The prince holds a church in his left hand and a sheathed sword in his right: the church marks his piety and charity, the scabbard his preference for peace over internecine war. The granite pedestal bears a relief inscription naming him Holy Right-Believing Grand Prince Daniil of Moscow, 1261–1303. Opposite stands a chapel to the same saint, consecrated by Patriarch Alexy II on 17 March 1998.

The monument stands at the fork of Lyusinovskaya and Bolshaya Serpukhovskaya streets, near Tulskaya metro station. The chapel of St. Daniil of Moscow faces the monument, and a small cross-shaped fountain of red granite, consecrated in 2013, stands nearby. The square is open and can be walked around on foot.

The statue's pedestal relief gives the prince's dates as 1261–1303. Across the square stands a chapel of St Daniil that was demolished in Soviet times around 1920 and consecrated anew by Patriarch Alexy II on 17 March 1998, a year after the monument itself was unveiled.
