oThe Admiralty: The Admiralty building is the former headquarters of the Admiralty Board and the Imperial

Russian Navy in St. Petersburg, Russia and the current headquarters of the Russian Navy. The edifice

was re-built in the nineteenth century to support the Tsar's maritime ambitions. The Empire Style edifice

visible today lining the Admiralty Quay was constructed to AndreyanZakharov's design between 1806

and 1823. Located at the western end of the NevskyProspekt, The Admiralty with its gilded spire topped

by a golden weather-vane in the shape of a small sail warship (Korablik), is one of the city's most

conspicuous landmarks and the focal point of old St. Petersburg's three main streets - Nevsky Prospect,

Gorokhovaya Street, and Voznesensky Avenue - underscoring the importance Peter I placed on Russia's

Navy.

Orthodox cathedral in the city. It is the largest orthodox basilica and the fourth largest (by the volume

under the cupola) cathedral in the world. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter

the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint

oFine Arts Square: Arts Square is a testimony to the effectiveness of the originally planning that went into

the city. The square's plan was drawn up by the Italian architect Carlo Rossi, who spent most of his life

working in Russia and is considered by many to be a native Russian architect. He was responsible for all

the most prominent buildings built on the square, including the Mikhailovsky Palace, which today houses

the Russian Museum. According to the "Classical" style of the day, all the buildings lining the square are

similar in design and form a harmonious architectural ensemble.

oChurch of Resurrection on Spilled Blood: The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main

sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. Other names include the Church on Spilled Blood, the Temple of the

Savior on Spilled Blood, and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ. This Church was built on the site

where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded in March 1881.The church was built between 1883 and

1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family.

oSmolny Cathedral: Smolny Convent or Smolny Convent of the Resurrection, located on Ploschad

Rastrelli, on the bank of the River Neva in Saint Petersburg, Russia, consists of a cathedral (sobor) and a

complex of buildings surrounding it, originally intended for a convent.

oBronze Horseman: The Bronze Horseman is an equestrian statue of Peter the Great in Saint

Petersburg, Russia. Commissioned by Catherine the Great, it was created by the French sculptor Étienne

Maurice Falconet. The name comes from an 1833 poem of the same name by Aleksander Pushkin, which

is widely considered one of the most significant works of Russian literature. The statue is now one of the

symbols of Saint Petersburg. The statue's pedestal is the enormous Thunder Stone, the largest stone

ever moved by humans. The stone originally weighed about 1500 tones, and was carved down to 1250

during transportation to its current site.
