The monument is installed opposite the university building, on the central axis, facing its facade. A tall, massive statue made of pink granite "grows" from a pedestal, which is smooth and polished in front, and looks like a broken block of stone in the back. On the sides are placed massive stelae with high-reliefs depicting wrestlers-stonemasons. Behind the monument is a rounded paved square surrounded by balustrades.
