A powerful and emotional place. The scale of the monument is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is heavy with history. It’s not just a photo stop—it truly makes you reflect. If you’re in Brest, this is a must-visit.

The obelisk "Courage" is the heart of the Brest Fortress. This is a figure of a soldier defender, 33.5 meters high. The construction of the monument began in May 1968. The sculpture, consisting of 200 pieces, was built with concrete slabs, which were fixed to a metal frame with a grid of secret columns 6 ×6 m. For the manufacture of this structure, a plaster sculpture shape was cast in a ratio of 1:7. Then the traces of the shape in the form of squares were removed, which later acquired the shape that can be observed today. The reverse side of the monument tells about the episodes and actions during the defense of the fortress.
