July 29, 2009 | 6 Comments Moscow River, Moscow
The statue of Peter the Great in downtown Moscow which, at 94 meters, is the seventh tallest statue in the world. Popular legend states that the Statue was initially of Christopher Columbus, but that after being rejected by the US Government, its head was replaced, and it was sold to the Russian government as a nautical statue of Peter the Great. In November 2008, it was voted the tenth ugliest building in the world by Virtual Tourist.
