Chesme Column, Commemorative column in Catherine Park, Russia.
The Chesme Column rises 25 meters from a pond, featuring bronze ship prows and a bronze eagle at its peak crushing a crescent moon.
The column, built between 1774 and 1778, marks three Russian naval victories against Turkey in the Battles of Chios, Chesme, and Mytilene.
The marble structure stands as a representation of Russian naval power, with three detailed bronze bas-reliefs depicting important maritime battles.
The monument connects to the shore through stone steps behind a grilled arch, allowing visitors to examine the column's intricate details.
The pink and white Olonets marble column underwent restoration in 1996, receiving new bronze reliefs based on historical photographs after World War II damage.
