Nowadays, the court is dominated by a sturdy equestrian statue of Alexander III of Russia, the most famous work of sculptor Paolo Troubetzkoy; formerly it graced a square before the Moscow Railway Station.
Administratively, the Vosstaniya Square falls under the authority of the Tsentralny District.
•
The square lies at the crossing of Nevsky Prospekt, Ligovsky Prospekt, Vosstaniya Street and Goncharnaya Street, in front of the Moskovsky Rail Terminal, which is the northern terminus of the line connecting the city with Moscow.
•
The roundabout at the center of the square was formerly dominated by Paolo Troubetzkoy's equestrian statue of Alexander III of Russia.
•
The Hero-City Obelisk was erected on the same spot, in order to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Victory Day in 1985 design by architects Vladimir Lukyanov and Aleksandr Alymov.
