Bronze statue of Catherine the Great on a raised plinth in central Simferopol — strong vertical lines, textured bronze and surrounding neoclassical buildings make for formal civic portraits and contextual urban scenes. Best at golden hour or after rain when surfaces pop; accessible from Lenin St with nearby street parking and pedestrian sidewalks. No entry fee; weekdays are quieter. Respect local commemorative customs and watch for events around the square.
