Monument to Peter the First in Izmailovsky Park

Monument to Peter I in Izmailovo is considered not the most famous, but rather noticeable monument of the Russian monarch, installed on the land of the former estate of Izmailovo, which is located on the peninsula in the center of a silver and grape pond.

The installation of the monument took place on June 15, 1998. The place for the staging of the monument was not chosen by chance, here is the patrimony of the founder of Peter I, overlord Alexei Mikhailovich, where he often spent a large amount of time in childhood, and then in adolescence.

It was here that the future leader noticed the personal famous Botik “Saint Nicholas”, who subsequently awakened his attention to naval occupation and became the “grandfather of the Navy”, and in the adjacent village of Preobrazhensky Peter received the ability of military professionalism in duels with his own amusing troops.

Monument to Peter I is located on the Izmailovsky Peninsula in the center of the Silver and Grape Pond, not far from the metal gate from the 1st Bauman Bridge. You can reach it on foot from the metro stations "Partizanskaya" and "Izmailovskaya" of the Arbat-Pokrovskaya part, as well as the platform of the Izmailovo MCC.
