<b>Archangel Michael Monument</b>, installed in 1996 near the Church of Saints Simon and Helena in the center of Minsk, holds an important place among the city's landmarks. The 4.5-meter-tall bronze figure depicts the Archangel striking a winged serpent with a spear. The monument is set on a low, octagonal pedestal clad in red granite. One side bears an inscription in Belarusian: "To the Defenders of God, Faith, and Christianity."

Archangel Michael, regarded as the protector of Belarus, stands opposite the <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/52/description">Red Church</a>, which was built in the early 20th century and is known for its Gothic architecture with elements of Romanesque style. It is a symbolic site for both locals and visitors of the city.

The monument is located on <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/49/description">Independence Square</a>, next to the <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/51/description">House of Government</a> and the underground shopping center "Stolitsa." Created by sculptor Igor Golubev, it stands as a symbol of spiritual protection and faith.
