St. Petersburg, Petrogradskaya side

32 photo with description
The Petrogradskaya Side is one of the most interesting districts of St. Petersburg . Despite the fact that the city began here, the House of Peter I, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the first port, the stock exchange, the first church - Trinity, this part of the city was sparsely populated until the second half of the 19th century. It actively began to build up after the construction of the Trinity Bridge in 1903, after which the area received constant communication with the central regions. The time of construction - the junction of the 19th and 20th centuries - is reflected in architecture: mainly modern and eclectic . Kamennoostrovsky prospect from a helicopter.

Cathedral Mosque
Cathedral Mosque, Kronverksky Avenue, 7, architects NV Vasilyev, AI von Gauguin, SS Krichinsky, built in 1909 - 1918 years. Cathedral Mosque in St. Petersburg - the largest in Europe

... But the uniqueness of this mosque is not so much in its size as in the synthesis of the architecture of the Northern Art Nouveau and the traditions of the religious architecture of Asia. In this architectural masterpiece, Russian architects managed to harmoniously combine rough Finnish stone in wall decoration with ornate sophisticated majolica and lattice decors. The stylization was so successful that, for all its uniqueness, its naturalness is beyond doubt. The entrance to the mosque. The inscription on the portal above the central entrance: “And when you finish your prayer, remember Allah, whether standing, sitting or lying down. And if you are safe, then pray properly. Indeed, the prayer was prescribed to the believers and the time of its fulfillment was indicated. " (Sura 4 "Women", ayah 103). Mosaic above the main entrance
