De zuil is vernoemd naar de tsaar Alexander I, die van 1801 tot 1825 regeerde in Rusland. Het monument staat er sinds 1834, wat precies 20 jaar na de overwinning is.&nbsp;Het 47,5 meter hoge monument is de hoogste in zijn soort. Op de zuil staat een engel met een kruis, die op een slang trapt, wat staat voor de overwinning op de vijand. Het gezicht van de engel vertoont vele overeenkomsten met het gezicht van keizer Alexander I en is erg indrukwekkend!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Een stad vol pracht en praal bezoeken?
