Monument to Nikita Demidov

Tourists who travel along the highway heading from Moscow to Tula, and then to the very heart of the City of Craftsmen along Oktyabrskaya Street, usually pay attention to the monument to a man with a well-built torso. It is installed directly opposite the Tula State Museum of Weapons. This is a monument to Nikita Demidov, the great industrialist who spread the fame of the Tula arms throughout Russia.

Before he met Emperor Peter I, Demidov had a small-scale factory in Tula and was engaged in the sale of iron. The Russian Tsar was then looking for people who could help establish a new, technologically advanced country. Nikita became one of them. He was the major supplier of weapons during the Northern War and the creator of the metallurgical industry in the Urals, the founder of a new, strong, and talented dynasty of Russian industrialists.

In memory of this glorious craftsman, the first monument to Nikita Demidov in Tula was built in 1996, opposite the Nicholas-Zaretskaya Church. The famous industrialist looks at the modern buildings of the Tula Arms Plant from a high pedestal. On his right hand, there is the Museum of Weapons. The craftsman was buried literally 100 meters far from the monument, in the crypt of the Nicholas-Zaretsky Church. You can find a museum dedicated to this great man of Tula near the church premises.

To see the monument to Nikita Demidov, move to the Museum of Weapons at Oktyabrskaya St., 2. The monument is located directly opposite the entrance to the Museum of Weapons. Before visiting the exposition, you may want to take a spectacular photo at this unusual monument to Demidov in Tula.
