Monument to Alexander III
Monument to Alexander III, Park "City Beginning"
Description:
The monument to Alexander III in Novosibirsk was opened in June 2012.
The opening of the monument was timed to celebrate the City Day, which was one hundred and nineteen years old.
The choice of the hero of the new monument was due to the fact that the emperor at the end of the XIX century issued a decree on the beginning of the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which determined the foundation of Novosibirsk.
The author of the monument is the People's Artist of Russia Salavat Shcherbakov. The monument is a thirteen-meter sculpture. The five-meter figure of the tsar was cast in the Moscow workshop.
The monument is installed in the Park “City beginning”.
