Le pont Alexandre-III est un pont franchissant la Seine entre le 7e et le 8e arrondissement de Paris. Ce pont porte le nom du tsar de Russie Alexandre III (1845-1894).
Inauguré pour l'Exposition universelle de Paris en 1900, le pont était destiné à symboliser l'amitié franco-russe, instaurée par la signature de l'alliance conclue en 1891 entre l’empereur Alexandre III (1845-1894) et le président de la République française Sadi Carnot. La première pierre fut posée par le tsar Nicolas II de Russie, l'impératrice Alexandra Fedorovna et le président Félix Faure le 7 octobre 1896. La construction de cet ouvrage d'art fut confiée aux ingénieurs Jean Résal et Amédée Alby, ainsi qu'aux architectes Cassien-Bernard et Gaston Cousin.
Construit dans l'axe de l'esplanade des Invalides, il conduit de celle-ci aux Petit et Grand Palais également construits pour l'Exposition universelle.
Sur la colonne, rive droite en aval, fut gravée cette inscription : « Le 14 avril 1900, Émile Loubet président de la République Française a ouvert l'exposition universelle et inauguré le pont Alexandre-III ».

The Monument to the Tsar Liberator is a monument in the centre of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. It was erected in honour of Russian Emperor Alexander II who liberated Bulgaria of Ottoman rule during the Russo-Turkish War.
The Monument to the Tsar Liberator lies on a little square at Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd, facing the National Assembly of Bulgaria and with the Radisson SAS hotel behind it.
The Neoclassical memorial’s author is Italian sculptor Arnoldo Zocchi. The foundation stone was laid on 23 April 1901, St George’s Day, in the presence of Knyaz Ferdinand I of Bulgaria, and the monument was completed on 15 September 1903.
The Monument to the Tsar Liberator consists of a pedestal, a middle part with figures and a massive Neo-Renaissance cornice finished with the sculpture of the Russian tsar on a horse. The bronze wreath at the foot was donated by Romania in memory of the Romanian soldiers that died during the war. The black polished granite came from Vitosha mountain which lies next to Sofia.
The main bronze bas-relief in the middle part depicts a group of Russian and Bulgarian soliders led by Nike, the Ancient Greek goddess of victory, who rises her sword high above. Portraits of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicolaievich, Count Ignatiev and the generals Joseph Vladimirovich Gourko and Mikhail Skobelev surround the group.
The basilica of Saint Achilles is one of the oldest monuments in the area of Prespes. The church was built in 983 or 986 by Bulgarian Tsar Samuel to house the relics of Larisa's patron Saint Achilles that Samuel had taken when the city conquered by Bulgarians. The name of the Saint, which was given to the largest island of small Prespa Lake where the church of Saint Achilles is situated, survived like its ruins through centuries of severe wars and many different conquerors.
The monument commemorates Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig, a crucial step towards the end of hostilities in the War of the Sixth Coalition. The coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden were led by Tsar Alexander I of Russia and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. On the first story, a crypt is adorned by eight large statues of fallen warriors, each one next to smaller statues called the Totenwächter (Guardians of the Dead). On the second story, the Ruhmeshalle (Hall of Fame) features four statues, each 9.5 metres (31 ft) tall, representing the four legendary historic qualities ascribed to the German people: bravery, faith, sacrifice, and fertility.

Moscow is home for the world’s largest bell – also known as Tsar Kolokol (Royal Bell), which stands over 6metres tall on the grounds of the Kremlin, between Ivan the Great Bell Tower and the Kremlin Wall. This great bell was however, never rung, as it was broken during casting
The Tsar Cannon in The Kremlin in Moscow is a remarkable piece of Russian artillery from the late 16th century. Despite its imposing size, it was never used in battle and is more of a symbol of power than a functional weapon. Its massive barrel and intricate carvings make it quite a sight to behold!
Some interesting statistics: The Tsar Cannon is made of bronze; it weighs 39,312 kilograms (86,668 lb) and has a length of 5.34 m (17.5 ft). Its bronze-cast barrel has an internal diameter of 890 mm (35.0 in), and an external diameter of 1,200 mm (47.2 in).
Don't be deceived, I was not there alone when I took this photo, the crowds were impossible. Parts of multiple photos went into creating this image.

The Tsar Cannon is a large early modern period artillery piece on display on the grounds of the Moscow Kremlin. It is a monument of Russian artillery casting art, cast in bronze in 1586 in Moscow, by the Russian master bronze caster Andrey Chokhov. Mostly of symbolic impact, it was never used in a war.
Zarenkanone
Die Zarenkanone ist eine vermutlich nie zum Einsatz gekommene Steinbüchse, die bis heute im Moskauer Kreml als Denkmal ausgestellt ist und mit ihren gewaltigen Ausmaßen ein markantes Denkmal der Artillerie und der Gusstechnik des frühneuzeitlichen Russlands darstellt.
The Tsar Bell, a masterpiece of the Russian casting technology of the XVIII century, stands on the stone base to the east of the Ivan-the-Great Bell-Tower. It was cast in 1733-1735 on the order of empress Anne Ioannovna by the casting-masters Ivan Motorin and his son Mikhail. Up till now the Tsar Bell is considered to be the biggest one in the world. It weights about 202 ton and is 6,14 meter high. Its diameter is 6,6 m.
In 1735, the Tsar Bell was finally cast. However, it still remained in the moulding pit. In May, 1737, a terrible Troitskiy (Trinity) fire broke out in Moscow and spread to the Kremlin buildings. When the flames on the scarffolding around the bell were being extinguished, cold water fell on the bell itself. The difference in temperature caused it to crack, and a huge piece of 11,5 ton broke off.
In 1836, the Tsar Bell was lifted up from the moulding pit and placed on a stone pedestal by French architect Auguste Montferrant (also built the famous Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg).
The Tsar Bell is decorated with bas-relief portraits of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich and empress Anna Ioannovna, also adorned with vegetation ornament in the baroque style and images of saints, angels and inscriptions telling the story of the bell.
