Built for the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg in 2003, France financed construction of this 59.4-foot “Peace Tower” — a transparent column with the word peace written in many languages and signatures on the base left by all the world leaders coming to St. Petersburg for the birthday celebration. The artists are the same ones who designed the Mur de la Paix on the Champ de Mars in Paris.
