A monument to Dionysius and his sons Vladimir and Feodosius was solemnly opened in the village of Prapontovo. The statue was installed on the shore of the lake, near the famous monastery, where icon painters painted the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary more than five hundred years ago. "The opening of the monument was one of the main events of the second phase of the improvement of the "Dionysius Beach" park. The project won the 9th All-Russian competition for the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment. Together with the chapel of St. George the Victorious, the statue forms one architectural complex," says Georgi Filimonov, governor of the Vologda region.
