Empress Maria Alexandrovna's name is tied to numerous places across the vast expanse of the Russian Empire and beyond. Some places still proudly bear her name today, such as Mariinsky Posad, Mariinsk, and Mariehamn.
Many cities and small towns fondly remember the visits of the Empress. Countless churches and monasteries still cherish the gifts bestowed by Maria Alexandrovna.
