Fyodor Kon monument in Smolensk, Commemorative monument near Gromovaya Tower, Smolensk, Russia.

The Fyodor Kon monument is a bronze statue erected in May 1991 near the Gromovaya Tower, the first restored tower of the Smolensk fortress wall. Sculptor O. N. Komov and architect A. K. Anipko created a generalized figure of a late 16th-century Russian architect, since no authentic portraits of Kon survive. The statue stands on a stone base and shows Kon with architectural plans.

Fyodor Kon built the Smolensk city walls and towers between 1596 and 1602; they still stand today. Earlier, from 1585 to 1593, he erected the stone walls and towers of Moscow's White City, which followed the line of today's Boulevard Ring and were demolished in the 18th century. The monument was installed in May 1991 near the Gromovaya tower, the first of the restored fortress towers, by sculptor O. N. Komov and architect A. K. Anipko.

The monument stands close to the old defensive walls that still run through parts of Smolensk and can be walked along today. Standing next to the bronze figure, visitors can look directly at the stonework that Kon oversaw, making the connection between the man and his creation easy to grasp.

The monument is located in central Smolensk, within easy walking distance of the old city walls, which makes it a natural stop when exploring that part of the city on foot. Morning light tends to fall directly on the bronze figure, which makes it easier to see the details of the sculpture.

Kon also oversaw the construction of the White City walls in Moscow, another major fortification project of the same period, but almost nothing of those walls survives today. The Smolensk wall is therefore one of the few places where his work can still be seen and touched, which adds a layer of rarity to this monument and its surroundings.
