Monument to Yaroslav the Wise
The monument dedicated to the founder of the city, Prince Yaroslav the Wise, located in the very centre of Yaroslavl, was unveiled on October 23, 1993.
The statue of Yaroslav the Wise seems to be welcoming visitors coming from the direction of Moscow, thus symbolizing the tight relations between this city and the Russian Capital. The Prince holds a blade downward as well as the model of the future city, showing his peace politic and his aspiration to create.
