LOCATION DETAILS
Palace Square is the central city square of St Petersburg. Many historic events took place there, including the Bloody Sunday massacre and parts of the October Revolution of 1917. Between 1918 and 1944, it was known as Uritsky Square. Two wings of the building are connected with the Triumphal Arch entrance that includes three interlinked arches, decorated with bas-relief. Arches are not located one after another, so when passing through each of them, you will gradually view the greatness and spaciousness of the square. On top of the Arch you can see a chariot with six horses that are guided by the majestic Goddess Glory with the laurel wreath in one hand and the standard in another one. The sculptural project was created by Stepan Pimenov and Vasily Demut-Malinovsky. The Arch was opened on October 24th in 1828.
