Victory Square
Плошча Перамогі
A circular square on Independence Avenue with a granite Victory obelisk, an eternal flame and an underground memorial hall honouring World War II heroes.
Victory Square was completed in 1954. At its centre stands a granite obelisk about 38 metres high, topped with a Soviet medal, with relief panels on all four sides of its base and an eternal flame burning below. The circular memorial hall beneath the square commemorates soldiers who died in World War II, with gold mosaics and wreaths; its entrance is in the underpass. Newlyweds often come here to lay flowers. Free admission. Exit at Victory Square metro station, and from here you can walk along the Svislach River to Trinity Suburb.
