Central Square (Fighters for Soviet Power Square)
Площадь Борцов за власть Советов
The city's largest square, with a Soviet-era Red Army monument, where weekend markets and festivals are held.
Central Square lies between Svetlanskaya Street and Aleutskaya Street, facing the Golden Horn. Its official name is Fighters for Soviet Power Square. At its center stands a monument completed in 1961, featuring a Red Army bugler holding up a flag, which is one of the city's symbols. The square is the hub of festivals, parades and rallies. On Fridays and Saturdays, farmers' markets often sell seafood, honey and pine nuts. In winter, a New Year's tree and ice sculptures are set up here. On the east side of the square is the Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral. It is about a 10-minute walk from the railway station and is the central point for exploring the city on foot.
