Slavy Square is the main square of Mogilev, its historical, public, and administrative center, located on a high hill at the confluence of the Dnieper and Dubrovenka rivers. Originating in the 16th century as the Market Square with 26 rows of stalls, it has undergone several name changes (Gubernatorskaya, Dumskaia, Sovetskaya), and received its current name in 2014 to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus. The architectural heart of the ensemble is the memorial complex "To the Fighters for Soviet Power" (opened in 1982) featuring a 13-meter bronze female figure symbolizing Victory, with an Eternal Flame at its base. The square preserves the memory of the defense of 1941, and today it is one of the highest points of the city, offering panoramic views of the Trans-Dnieper area. The ensemble is complemented by architectural landmarks of the 18th–19th centuries: the building of the former district court (now the local history museum) and the former city council (Palace of Civil Ceremonies).
