Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad Saint Petersburg

The monument consists of a tall obelisk on a base of broken rings that practically demands attention from quite a distance away. Behind the obelisk is a descending path that leads down into a depression lit by eternally burning gas torches, lights in remembrance of the fallen. In addition, the walls of the interior ring are adorned with engravings that depict some of the famous battles of the siege and resisted occupation, paying special tribute to the citizens of the city of Leningrad. A must see for tourists who want a unique perspective on the city’s culture and history.
