Signal cannon on the Karaulnaya mountain, in Krasnoyarsk

On the Karaulnaya mountain of Krasnoyarsk slightly below the Paraskeva chapel is one of the symbols of the city - the signal gun, the famous howitzer M-30 model 1938 edition, in memory of the Cossacks-founders of Krasnoyarsk. With single shot it announces the approach of noon. The gun was mounted to the city Day in 2001. The idea to establish in Krasnoyarsk the signal gun belongs to the Cossacks. They were the founders of the Burg "Krasnyi Yar" and were fighting using "guns and food". In 2001, howitzer M-30 model 1938 brought from the military unit located in the village of Taskin. The shots of the guns are made by calculating the soldiers of the guard daily at noon. The instrument is protected. Specially for this purpose near the site in 2001 was built a small guard house. House Windows made of bulletproof glass. The Playground is made of durable concrete, designed for heavy loads.
