Muzhestva Square

'Square of Fortitude') is an open public square, shaped as a roundabout, in the north-east of Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The square and the station were designed on the route to Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery where hundreds of thousands people, mostly civilian victims, are buried from the 1941–44 siege of the city during World War II.

In the second half of the 20th century, the street got two metro stations and was continued in the newer northern built up residential areas by Tikhoretskiy Prospekt (Tikhoretsk Avenue) and Prospekt Kultury (Culture Avenue), the three streets making a single thoroughfare that reaches the northern city boundary and the Saint Petersburg Ring Road, over a junction with which a motorway goes north into suburban Vsevolozhsk District of Leningrad Oblast.

Prospekt Nepokoryonnykh (Avenue of the Unconquered) goes roughly eastwards, and takes visitors to Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery on the left-hand side of the street.

The avenue also reaches at its western end Prospekt Engelsa, at Svetlana Square, from which another major road goes westwards into the residential areas of the former Commandant's Airfield (Komendantskiy aerodrom) and of the Long Lake (Ozero Dolgoye).
