A monument to Jānis Fabriciuss

The Akmeņu Street is the oldest cobblestone street in Ventspils and it runs along the Old Town Square, which up to the late thirties of the 20th century was a built–up area. Now, the monument to Jānis Fabriciuss (1877–1929) created in 1954 by the sculptor Jānis Zariņš is erected here. Jānis Fabriciuss was the legendary commanding officer of Latvian Riflemen Division of the Soviet Red Army, born in the rural municipality of Zlēkas in the region of Ventspils.
