A lively square, clean and well maintained. The main attraction is the Victory Monument. The Victory Square station is located next to the monument. Also, from the square you can get to the main street, Independence Avenue, where beautiful historical buildings are located.
The warmest memories of Minsk! We lived near the Victory Square metro station. Clean, beautiful, large-scale!!! Historical memory is carefully preserved. I really want to come again
The stunning monument dedicated to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War is one of the main symbols of Minsk.
Under the monument there is a memorial hall with the names of the Heroes of the Soviet Union.
The attitude of the locals is amazing, just impeccable cleanliness, the memorial is kept in amazing condition. What can I say, even the underpass to the memorial is perfectly clean. Honestly, it's just impressive.
A place of remembrance and sorrow. Granite, bronze, gilding, the grandeur of architecture, Art Deco in its Soviet interpretation.
One of the main squares of Belarus
A complete architectural ensemble.
The location of the Victory Day Parade.
Victory Square in Minsk: a place of memory and heroic glory. In 1954, a granite obelisk was unveiled in the center of the square in honor of the liberation of the city from the Nazi occupiers. The monument, which was worked on by the largest Belarusian sculptors, was dedicated to the memory of people who gave their lives to save the Belarusian capital. There is a bronze Order of Victory at the top of the obelisk. Eternal memory to the heroes!!!
The place above and below the ground is shrouded in memory and respect for the participants of the war.The monument, the eternal flame, in the gallery of passages underground there are many panoramas, paintings, photos, etc. on the theme of war.
We have been visiting this monument periodically with our son almost since his birth! He likes both the lower and upper levels, always looks at everything, notices any change of exposure!)) We do not go there only during the holidays because of the large crowd of people
The main square of the city. Cleanliness, order, the Eternal Flame is burning. All the pillars are decorated with festive symbols. There is a glowing inscription on nearby houses. Near the metro station, underground passages.
Victory Square is just space. Post #1, always touching and beautiful, our history, our pride, our memory. We remember. We are proud. The feat of the people is immortal
The main square of our city! A historic place! This is a monument to the soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War. It's great that such an excellent installation was made in the passage under the monument! Be sure to visit this place!
Short historical background:
In 1954, a majestic monument to the soldiers of the Red Army and partisans who died during World War II was erected in the center of the square – the Victory Monument – an obelisk with a height of about 40 meters lined with gray granite. The four sides of the obelisk pedestal are decorated with bronze high reliefs created by Belarusian sculptors:
May 9, 1945 (A.Bembel)
The Partisans of Belarus (A.Glebov)
Glory to the fallen heroes (Z.Azgur)
The Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War (S.Selikhanov)
The obelisk is crowned with the image of the Order of Victory.
On July 3, 1961, an Eternal Flame was lit at the base of the obelisk.
Currently, Victory Square in Minsk is a place where people come to honor the memory of millions who died during World War II. Many newlywed couples come to the Victory Monument to lay flowers at the Eternal Flame.
Underground, the monument is surrounded by a circular bypass gallery, which turns into a round memorial hall dedicated to the memory of the heroes who died during the war. In the center there is a wreath of art glass illuminated from the inside – a symbol of the Eternal Flame of memory.
The square is surrounded by buildings erected in the 50s of the XX century.
Victory Square is the main entrance to Gorky Park, a popular recreation area.
There are several grocery stores and cafe Berezka on the square, where it is very pleasant to sit after sunset (excellent hookah and delicious sangria with cherries).
Perhaps this memorial complex can be safely called the hallmark of our beautiful city! And we must not forget that it consists of two parts: ground and underground! There are a lot of interesting facts about this on the web.
It's just not clear why the Victory Monument from Vitebsk is on the title photo of Victory Square in Minsk)))

A monumental place!
It's great that there's an information installation down in the lobby. Interesting for both children and adults
A very beautiful square!The eternal flame and the inscription on the houses,,The feat of the people is immortal,,touch to the depths of the soul!Imbued with patriotism and pride.Nearby is a beautiful green square and houses in the style of the Stalinist Empire
A holy place.This is our history, here people honor the memory and express gratitude to our ancestors who drove the fascist plague from our land, but unfortunately,
A must-visit. Stella and the Eternal Flame. Together with the curved facades of the buildings, the square forms a harmonious and majestic ensemble. Very similar to the Republic Square in Rome. Only there is a fountain with naiads in the center.
In the underpass under the square there is a beautiful and strict composition of columns with illuminated colored glass and a illuminated wreath. He reminded me of the Crown of Thorns of Christ in Notre Dame Cathedral: there is also a kind of ring case with a dark ruby glow...
You must visit the square, the park, and the museum. Interesting expositions, many documents, various interactive expositions, you need to know the history, you need to remember and honor the memory of those who led our homeland to victory over fascism!
The place is important. For the memory and understanding of the history of the state. After the reconstruction, it became even better. I recommend everyone to visit.
I do not give this assessment to the place, but to the one who signed the photo of Victory Square in Vitebsk (if I am not mistaken) that this is Victory Square in Minsk. And the squares themselves, both of them, are quite beautiful and impressive.
A very memorable place, full of sadness and pride! It is very interesting and informative if there is a person nearby who can explain all the nuances, the history of this place, its subtleties, the location, the subtexts of the paintings. Very interesting. My boyfriend listened to my stories for half an hour and left with fire in his eyes.
The attraction is required to be consecrated)) it is available to combine with a walk along the embankment of the Svisloch river, a well-groomed lawn, clean enough, but how is this possible with a minimum number of urban trash cans? The riddle))
If you expect an atmospheric location with full immersion, this is exactly what you need) within walking distance from the square, everyone will find something to do)
🔥
A place of memory for the generation of winners.
So that everyone remembers that this planet needs peace.
No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.🔥
The monument is very impressive. There is a great view from the observation deck, although it will have to climb too high. It is better, of course, to visit in good clear weather.
Minsk is a hero city, I love it, a very beautiful and picturesque place, and the most important thing is that this is Victory Square, our common victory!!!
An iconic place in the heart of the city. The obelisk was erected in honor of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. You can walk through the passage to the center of the square. Gorky Park and the embankment of the Svisloch River are located nearby
A beautiful square, clean and convenient for walking. I recommend watching it. Everything is being looked after, there is no destruction, everything is in perfect condition.
