The central square of Ulaanbaatar is known as Sukhbaatar Square, named after General Damdin Sukhbaatar, one of the leaders of the Mongolian People’s Revolution. Following his death in 1923, the decision was made to name the square in his honor to commemorate his contributions to Mongolia.
In 1946, on the 25th anniversary of the victory of the People’s Revolution, a statue of General Sukhbaatar was erected, and the square was paved and developed. The bronze statue depicts the general mounted on a horse, rising slightly in his saddle and pointing toward the east, where the sun rises.
On the northern side of the square stands the Government Palace, with a garden behind it. Until 2005, a mausoleum dedicated to Choibalsan and Sukhbaatar stood in front of the palace. It was subsequently removed, and in 2006, to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Great Mongol Empire, a grand State Ceremonial Complex was constructed in its place.
The complex features seated statues of Genghis Khan, Ögedei Khan, and Kublai Khan, along with bronze equestrian statues of two distinguished warriors. Today, Sukhbaatar Square remains an important landmark for Mongolia’s political, historical, and cultural identity.
