Baroque monuments in St. Petersburg

# 21.708 km.
# 3 hours

This route will not only make you familiar with the baroque monuments spread all over our city, but also will disclose why baroque architecture strayed so much from the european traditions. 

For instance, the excessive splendour and pomposity were unacceptable during the Great Northern War, times, when our city was being built so rapidly. Besides, the diversity of Petrine Baroque testified national independence and greatness of the empire.
