Monument to the city founders, Yekaterinburg, Memorial statue in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The Monument to the City Founders features four bronze figures representing different social roles: a prince, a military commander, a Cossack builder, and a priest.

Established in 2002, this memorial commemorates the founders who established Yekaterinburg as a metallurgical center in 1723 under Peter the Great's industrialization initiative.

The monument incorporates Russian Orthodox symbolism through the priest figure holding the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, representing spiritual foundation.

Located in the central district near public transportation stops, the memorial provides an excellent starting point for exploring other historical sites in Yekaterinburg.

The monument's base contains a time capsule with messages for future generations, connecting past and present citizens of Yekaterinburg.
