Heroes of Plevna, Memorial chapel at Ilyinsky Square, Moscow, Russia
The octagonal cast-iron pavilion with a low pedestal stands 20 meters tall and features four relief panels on its lateral faces.
Russian grenadiers built this memorial in 1887 to commemorate their fellow soldiers who died during the siege of Pleven in the Russo-Turkish War.
The relief panels depict scenes from the war, including a peasant blessing his son, a janissary with a dagger, and a wounded Russian soldier.
The chapel sits near the Kitay-gorod metro station exit and holds regular memorial services for fallen soldiers throughout the year.
The memorial contains inscriptions listing major battles and names of grenadiers who perished during the 1877-1878 Russo-Turkish War.
