Alexander Square

Stavropol, Russia

Description:

Alexander Square is located in Stavropol. Its second name is Angel Square, due to the fact that on the 225th anniversary of the city there was a monument to the Guardian Angel of Stavropol. It got its name in 1851, when Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov gave the go-ahead for its renaming in honor of Alexander II, the great heir to the throne, who once arrived here.

It is located in the busiest part of the city, in close proximity to cafes, large shopping centers, administrative buildings and restaurants. Alexander Square is quite popular among schoolchildren, young people, couples in love, as well as among lovers of shopping and hiking.

In recent years, the monument, along with the square at its base, has become an integral part of the urban landscape and local folklore, as well as one of the symbols of the city. This place attracts thousands of tourists who come here to see the famous monument.
