In a XVIII-th century the river Fontanka was city border , now Nevsky prospect was stretched on 4,5 km from Admiralties, to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra (monastery) with a small break on the Revolt (Vosstaniya) Square.

Nevsky prospect — the major highway laid since the first years of the basis of a city at first as a glade in wood for communication with road on Moscow, passing approximately under the present — Lithuanian avenue. In 1710 th a glade have continued to just based Alexander Nevsky Lavra (monastery) on coast Neva, and at crossing — with the Moscow road (where nowadays the Revolt (Vosstaniya) Square) the direct glade from Admiralties — «Nevskaya pershpectiva» has received a break.«Nevskaya pershpectiva» it is fixed by the city map developed«the Commission — about the St.-Petersburg structure»(1737) as extreme radius in system of three highways dispersing from Admiralty: Pea street (street Dzerzhinsky) and the Voznesensky avenue (the avenue of Majorova).

In first third XIX century on the avenue the fine ensembles connected by sites of neutral building«solid facade»were generated. Alternation of architectural accents — ensembles and the prospects — revealing along the rivers of the Moyka and Fontanka, Griboedov`s channel­, streets Big Sea, Duma, Garden, the Vladimir avenue, and pieces of quiet building, do the avenue by an outstanding example — of the town-planning decision of a large city highway.

strongly damaged during the Great Patriotic War, the avenue — in 1950 has undergone th years to labour-consuming restoration during which time a — number of buildings has been cleared away from the stratifications deforming their original form­. The avenue has been arranged well.
