Nestled in the heart of Narva, this charming park stands as a testament to the elegance of 19th-century park architecture. Positioned on the historic Bastions, it's more than just a green space; it’s a living piece of history. As you wander through, you'll come across two poignant memorials. The first is an iron cross, solemnly perched on the Victoria Bastion since 1853, honoring the Russian soldiers who perished during the Siege of Narva in the Great Northern War. The second memorial pays tribute to the soldiers who laid down their lives in the War of Independence in November 1918.
Strolling through the park, you'll be enveloped by the serene beauty of its lush landscapes and can almost feel the whispers of history in the breeze. The park is a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It's a perfect place to reflect, relax, and appreciate the rich history that surrounds you.
