Victory Square is one of the most grandiose and majestic architectural ensembles in Minsk.

At the foot of the monument there are bronze wreaths, which symbolize the four fronts, that participated in the liberation of Belarus. Victory Monument was inaugurated on May 9, 1954. On the day of the 17th anniversary of liberation of Minsk, July 3, 1961, at the foot of the monument was lit an eternal flame.

Under the Square there is a metro station named Victory Station. In an underpass leading to the station there is the Memorial Hall of Heroes. It was inaugurated in 1985 in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Victory over Nazism. The underpass is built as a circular passageway with its walls bearing photographic images of the best-known memorial sites dedicated to the events of the war against Nazism.
