Монумент «Глобус», Steel monument in Penza, Russia.
The Globe Monument stands 13 meters tall with an 8-meter diameter sphere covered in aluminum plates depicting continents and geographical coordinates.
The structure was inaugurated in December 1972 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Union formation at the intersection of Suvorov and Bekeshskaya streets.
The monument represents international friendship through its design, with surface reliefs showing all continents except Antarctica and featuring the Soviet Union borders in Eurasia.
Located at Friendship Square, the monument completes one rotation every 24 hours and provides a central meeting point for residents and visitors.
Engineers from the Penza Research Institute of Chemical Engineering constructed the monument without input from artists or architects.
