The Leningrad Hero City Obelisk is a towering monument located in the city of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The obelisk stands as a tribute to the heroic efforts of the city's residents during the brutal siege of Leningrad, which lasted from 1941 to 1944 during World War II. The monument was erected in 1975, on the 30th anniversary of the end of the siege.
The obelisk is made of red granite and stands at a height of 48 meters (157 feet). At the top of the obelisk is a bronze statue of a woman holding a wreath, symbolizing the victory and resilience of the people of Leningrad. The statue is surrounded by a ring of 14 bronze figures, representing the different professions and social classes of the city's residents who contributed to the defense effort.
The base of the obelisk is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting scenes from the siege, including the evacuation of children and the delivery of supplies by air and water. The obelisk is also surrounded by a large plaza, which is often used for public gatherings and events.
The Leningrad Hero City Obelisk is a powerful symbol of the courage and determination of the people of Leningrad during one of the most difficult periods in their history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who defended the city and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
