The memo­r­i­al arch in hon­or of Nicholas II’s vis­it to Mari­in­sk in 1891 was opened in 2011. This object is an exact copy of the arch built for the arrival of the Tsare­vich, the future Russ­ian Emper­or. The Grand Duke was return­ing from his trip to Japan, stopped in Mari­in­sk for the night, and it was built for his arrival. Thanks to this event, Mari­in­sk is the only city in the Kemero­vo Region vis­it­ed by the roy­al per­son.
