Monument to Alexander Pushkin

The monument to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is located in Tbilisi, in Pushkin Square, and was created by sculptor F. Khodorovich. The monument was unveiled in 1892, on the day of the 55th anniversary of the death of the great Russian poet. It was installed in the city's "New Garden", which was founded a little earlier, in 1885. The monument is located near the place where Pushkin stayed during his visit to Tiflis in 1829. The house where he stayed has not survived, but a memorial plaque has been installed on the facade of house No. 5 on Pushkin Street.
