Sculptural composition "Architects" photo - Details
The sculptural composition "Architects" in the Alexander Park (Petrogradskaya side). Bronze figures of architects Rastrelli, Rossi, Trezzini, Montferrand, Tom de Thomon, Voronikhin, Bazhenov, Zakharov.

The building of the former Stock Exchange, Rostral columns. Peter and Paul Fortress and the Cathedral of Peter and Paul (the architect of the cathedral is Domenico Trezzini, the first architect of St. Petersburg). Saint Peter looks thoughtfully at the city named after him. I would look with interest at the characters who tore off the keys. All objects on the layout are accurately referenced to the terrain, you can walk around the layout, but, probably due to the coronavirus and the restrictions imposed, the layout was closed ...
