The equestrian Monument to Alexander Suvorov in the park along 25th October Street. The city of Tiraspol was founded by the Russian generalissimo Alexander Suvorov in 1792. Considered a national hero, Suvorov is seen by many as one of the greatest generals in history and one of the few who never lost a battle, being undefeated in over 60 large battles while frequently having the numerical disadvantage.
