Monument to Robinson Crusoe

A monument to the famous literary character, invented by writer Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe, was erected in the city of Tobolsk, in 2007.

Few people know that according to the second book of the famous writer, about the adventurer Robinson, the literary character traveled around Siberia, and, of course, visited Tobolsk. At that time, in the XVII century, Tobolsk was one of the largest cities in Russia, and the trade route from Europe to Asia passed through it. This is why a sculpture dedicated to Robinson appeared in the city.

The monument is made of three bronze figures - Robinson Crusoe himself, his companion Friday and the dog of the Laika breed. The monument is located in one of the squares of the city on Semyon Remezov Street.
