Area of the Sun

In the city of Tyumen there is a monument dedicated to our solar system! And it is located not somewhere, but on the Sun Square, which was founded by order of the City Administration on June 9, 2009. Previously, it was an unnamed element of the street-road network in the area of Lenin and Pervomayskaya streets. On the square there is a sculptural group depicting in miniature the solar system with respect to the proportions of each celestial body. In the center on the pedestal is a golden ball, symbolizing the Sun. On either side are the monuments of each planet, arranged in the same order as in the solar system.

The area is surrounded by architectural monuments. Two combined buildings along Pervomaiskaya Street previously housed merchant shops: I. G. Stakheev (fur), N. A. Pankratyev (manufactured), as well as the famous Moscow store. Also here is a house that was once a wing of the estate of the Brothers Kolmakov.
