Walks around Saint-Petersburg#10.

Here we are not far from the Admiralty and the monument to Peter the Great. Here are the buildings of the Constitutional Court. These buildings were erected in 1829 - 1834 and are connected by a triumphal arch, through which the Galernaya Street originates.

These buildings were built for the government bodies of Russia of those years - the Senate and the Holy Synod. It was one of the last great projects of the architect Charles Ivanovich Rossi.
