Victory Park
The Memorial of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 stretches over an area of 20 hectares on the highest elevation of the Poklonnaya Gora (Low Bow Hill) in the Victory Park. This architectural ensemble built in 1983-1995 includes a museum, several sculptural monuments, an open-air display and a church.
