Description
The monumental Admiralty building (1806-1823) is famous for its wonderful top composition of a tower with a spire - symbol of the city. The extended facades of the building with solemn and strict colonnades form around them a necklace of ceremonial squares. The abundance of allegorical sculptures and reliefs were supposed to glorify Russia as a great swa-faring nation.
