The Triumphal Arch appeared in Bendery on Ermakov Street, almost at the entrance to the city, on October 7, 2008, on the eve of the city’s 600th anniversary.

Architects V. Frolkov, B. Filimonov, and I. Kibich developed the project.

An employee of the historical and local lore museum of Bendery, A.A. Alyokhin, manually made all the metal elements of the monument.

In the upper part of the Triumphal arch there is a bas-relief with a double-headed eagle. On the columns, one can see decorative military attributes: a helmet, an axe, a poleaxe, which embody the glory of Russian weapons.

The front side of the arch faces the entrance to the city – this is how the architects preserved the old tradition, according to which the triumphal gate was always set as a facade to the road leading to the city.

Military-historical memorial complex

The military-historical memorial complex in the city of Bendery was opened on October 7, 2008.

It was erected on the site of an old military cemetery, where the remains of many soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army who died in the wars of the 18-20th centuries were laid to rest.

Bendery Fortress is one of the oldest structures on the territory of Pridnestrovie, an outstanding monument of fortification architecture. The citadel of the fortress was built by the medieval Genoese, and after Bender became part of the Ottoman Empire in 1538, the castle was significantly rebuilt already by the Turks. The citadel, preserved to our days almost in its original form, has eight towers.

On the opposite side of the central square, a monument plaza features a Soviet T-34 tank, commemorating the Soviet victory in World War II, as well as several monuments dedicated to more recent conflicts, including the Soviet war in Afghanistan and the War of Transnistria.

Tourists can also take a walk on 25th October street to see the columned House of Soviets complete with a stern-looking bust of Lenin.

Monument to A.V. Suvorov

The hallmark of Tiraspol is the monument to Alexander Suvorov with which the grateful descendants immortalized the memory of their city founder.

The monument was inaugurated over 40 years ago, on November 23, 1979, on the eve of great commander’s birthday celebration. The authors of the 9-meter bronze statue were brothers Vladimir and Valentin Artamonov, while the monument design was performed by architects L. Druzhinin and Yu. Chistyakov.
