Monument to Ilya Muromets
Description:
Genre sculpture “Ilya Muromets” is a majestic monument installed on the high bank of the Oka River in the city of Murom. He depicts the epic hero in the form of a warrior-monk: in mail over a monastic cassock, with a sword in his right hand and a cross in his left.
Ilya Muromets is the most famous, but at the same time the most mysterious hero of the Russian epic. The memory of Ilya Muromets was always kept in his homeland - in the village of Karacharov and the city of Murom, where there was no doubt about his real existence and origin.
