Monument to City of Military Glory

The granite and bronze monument features a tall column with neoclassical elements, standing as a tribute to military achievements in the city center.

In 2008, President Putin granted Tuapse the status of City of Military Glory for its resistance during the 1942 German offensive in the Caucasus.

The monument serves as a central location for military ceremonies, where residents gather to honor fallen soldiers and commemorate Victory Day celebrations.

Located at coordinates 44.093904, 39.075054, the monument welcomes visitors daily and hosts official ceremonies during national military observances throughout the year.

The monument stands 23 kilometers from the exact point where local defenders successfully halted the German advance toward Tuapse during World War II.
