Pamyatnik Prepodobnomu Savve Storozhevskomu

The Pamyatnik Prepodobnomu Savve Storozhevskomu (or Monument to Saint Savva Storozhevsky) is located in the small town of Zvenigorod, about 64 km (40 miles) from Moscow. It is a 15 meter (50 feet) tall monument built in tribute to Saint Savva Storozhevsky, the original abbot of the local Saint Savva Monastery of Storozhi. The six-sided monument features a set of ornate columns, capped by an engraved ikon of the saint, under a round dome. The monument sits atop a natural hill, offering an impressive view of Zvenigorod. Visitors to the monument can access it by car and in summer, a funicular railway runs to the top.
