Brest Fortress

The history of the Brest Fortress dates back to the 13th century. At that time, a watchtower was built on the island at the confluence of the Western Bug and Mukhovets rivers to defend the city of Berestya, as Brest was called in The Tale of Bygone Years.

The area of the citadel is 4 square kilometers, the memorial complex consists of the ruins of the bastion, surviving buildings, modern monuments and a rampart.

The entrance to the complex is made in the form of a star carved in a reinforced concrete monolith.

From the entrance along the alley, visitors pass to the bridge leading to the Ceremonial Square, where commemorative events are held.

The compositional center of the complex is the monument of Courage, — a sculptural image of a fighter and a banner. The height of this composition embodying the image of the fallen defenders of the Brest fortress is more than 30 meters.

The most dramatic sculptural composition of the memorial is Thirst. The stone depicts the figure of a soldier trying with his last strength to crawl to the water with a helmet in his hand. The helmet is always filled with fresh flowers from visitors to the fortress.

In the eastern part of the complex are the remains of the White Palace, one of the last stone buildings of Brest-Litovsk. The last defenders of the fortress died under the rubble of the collapsed roof of the palace. In the 50s, a stone was discovered here with the inscription: "We are dying, but we do not give up!".

Many books and films are devoted to the defense of the fortress.

That`s all I wanted to say.

Thank you for your attention!
