The Chesme Column (Russian: Чесменская колонна, romanized: Chesmenskaya kolonna) is a rostral column (a type of victory column) in the Catherine Park at the Catherine Palace, a former Russian royal residence at Tsarskoye Selo, a suburb of Saint Petersburg.
It was constructed from 1774 to 1778 in the large pond of the landscape park of the Catherine Palace to Antonio Rinaldi's designs.
The column stands on a grey marble pedestal, on three sides of which are bronze bas-reliefs illustrating the Russian victories, while the fourth side is inscribed with a description of the battles.
The bas-reliefs were destroyed by the Germans during World War II, and subsequently replaced using old photographs.
The column was reopened in June 1996, commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy.
