Description:
The Copper Horseman is one of the most famous monuments to Peter I in St. Petersburg. It has long been considered a symbol of the city. Since ancient times, there has been an active mention of this wonderful sight in urban legends, anecdotes, works of poets of those times.
Despite the name of the monument, it is actually made of bronze. Such a world-famous name of the landmark received thanks to the work of the same name by A. S. Pushkin.
The monument to Peter I was commissioned by Catherine II by the famous French sculptor Falcone. It took him 16 years to create this magnificent sculpture. The monument was the only landmark at that time in the city square. On the granite foot, according to the decree of Catherine the Great, words are carved in two languages that it is dedicated to the mighty king from Catherine II in 1782.
You can admire the Copper Rider in Senate Square. If you are far from the square, you can reach it in any convenient way, using public transport or taxis.
