Palace embankment (According to the materials of the book "St. Petersburg and suburbs: a guide to cultural and historical monuments / Yu.G. Ivanov, O.Yu. Ivanova, R.A. Halhatov. - Smolensk: Rusich, 2010. - 336 C.: IL. - (Memorial seats of Russia) "):

In 1763, after the end of the construction of the next, the creation of a granite embankment began. For four years, under the leadership of Master T. Nonosov, the palace was posted from the granite blocks of capital (now Palace) embankment with a length of 1.6 km. Over the retaining wall set with a minor bias, the rounded cornice of the sidewalk slightly hangs. Parapet is made of massive blocks with rounded edges. Rhythmically repeated seven semicircular stairs, Hermitagous equestrian descent, as well as humpback stone bridges through the origins of the Red Channel, and the Fontanka completed the creation of architectural and artistic appearance of the city's promenade. The palace embankment stretching on the left bank of the Neva, the palace embankment stood without overhaul for almost two centuries and served as a model to create other St. Petersburg embankments.

The appearance of the embankment form outstanding in its artistic importance of the building, and, as well as former palaces and mansions for nobility. From here there is a wonderful view of the wide open spaces of the Neva, and.

Palace embankment (According to the book "Historical Quarters of St. Petersburg / A.G. Vladimirovich, A.D. Erofeev. - M.: AST, 2014. - 544 s."):

This name is familiar and expensive to every St. Petersburg. Today it is even difficult to imagine that the embankment could wear any other names except. Meanwhile, it first appeared in 1776, when there was already current, the architectural miracle Francesco Bartolomeo (or, as he was called in Russian, Bartholomew Varfolomeyevich) Rastrelli.

Initially, since 1737, the embankment was called cash line, which was characteristic of the front, facial streets of the city. On April 20, 1738, Empress Anna John on the proposal of the commission about the St. Petersburg structure assigns it the name of the upper embankment street. It was due to the fact that the street was higher in the course of the Neva relative to the bottom embankment of the street (modern).

The name was used until the middle of the XVIII century. In parallel, there were options: the upper embankment line, the embankment of the top stone line, the upper embankment of the River River Line, the Nesu River Navel line is either just the embankment line, the Embankment Street, Nevskaya Embankment or the Upper Quay.

But this is not all names. In the second half of the XVIII century, the definition of "Millionna" was glued to the embankment - by parallel to it. Accordingly, the embankment was a millpopian embankment, a millionth embankment of a line, a million or large millionth embankment. The last two options were used in parallel with the palace embankment until the middle of the 1790s.

At the beginning of the XIX century, the embankment called a large and large palace, and the name of the Palace Embankment was used until 1822. After that, the embankment finally secured the current name. For 101 year. For on October 6, 1923, she was renamed in the embankment of the Ninthian January (1905). And the year was taken to the brackets, so it was often descended when using this name.

The bridge was built in 1856: a direct connection with the Exchange and Trading Port was needed. In the manufacture of the design used flooded Isaacria bridge. Then it was upgraded and called the palace. The permanent bridge appeared in 1916, although he thought earlier. The construction prevented a variety of events: first - flood, then - the First World War. In 1917, the bridge was renamed the republican, but in 1944 he returned his initial name. Cast iron lattices were installed only in 1939. In 2013, this architectural monument was reconstructed.

The garden is obliged to the fact that the palace guard was bred earlier here. The garden was broken in 1896 and separated the royal residence - the Winter Palace - from the roadway. The architect Nikolai Kramskaya was engaged in the project, on the project of which the garden raised over the street about the meter. It appeared a fountain and seedlings of trees. The garden fence was carried out in the style of Rastrelyevsky Baroque: the pattern from the leaves was complemented by the emperor's emblem and the state coat of arms. In 1920, the fence was dismantled and installed in. In 2008, the initial appearance of the fountain was restored. Now the garden is a great place to relax in the center. In the summer, here you can hide from the Sun, and in the winter - to admire the multi-colored garlands adorning the branches of the trees.

The museum was built by Yuri Felten and Jean-Batite-Michel Wallen-Demump in 1775. The miniature gallery is in itself a lot of famous exhibits: it is a watch with peacock, and a pavilion hall, and a hanging garden. Initially, unique works of art acquired by Catherine II were exhibited. They could only see their chosen - no wonder the word "Hermitage" translates as "privacy". Only since 1852, Hermitage became accessible to the public.

The museum was constructed in 1787 by architect Yuri Felten. The building built in the style of classicism amazes its interior: the rooms are painted with gilding, decorated with colored stones and skillful stucco. Now there are administrative premises here and the works of Italian painting of the XIII-XVIII centuries are exhibited. Five years after the construction of the building, Rafael's loggias were attached to the Great Hermitage, in which there are copies of the artist's fresco.

Among the famous objects inside - theatrical and Soviet stairs. The first interlocks the floors of a large Hermitage and allows you to go to the Hermitage Theater and Loggia Rafael. The second staircase appeared due to the need for its own entrance to the premises, where the Committee of Ministers and the State Council began. Architect Andrei Potakhenshneder was separated by the marble staircase, and the lobby was decorated with red porphy and porphy columns.

The new Hermitage, built on the project Leo von Klenza in 1851, is beyond the building of the Great Hermitage. Known by his portico with ten Atlants, the museum was created specifically for public visits. Initially, there were rooms of the Russian and Western European sculpture in it, now there is a knightly hall with a rich collection of armor and weapons. Also, a curious exhibit is a large Kolyvan vase from a green jasper weighing 19 tons.

Winter groove

The groove was breaking in 1719 and called the old palace canal. It connects the Neva and washing and extends 228 meters. Despite the fact that the channel is so short, several bridges were transferred through it. The Hermitage Bridge became a leader of stone construction in the city: all the bridges were constructed exclusively from the tree. It was built in the 18th century, as the 1st Winter Bridge. The 2nd Winter Bridge was erected in the middle of the 20th century, but was made in the style of the previous two. The buildings of the Great Hermitage and the Hermitage Theater are combined with arched construction that supports the Gallery Transition. From the side of the embankment, it looks very beautiful: the groove flows under the arch, disappearing in perspective.

In 1872, Architect Alexander Rezanov erected the palace, intended for the third son of Alexander II, Vladimir. The building is built in Florentine style, decorated with large Venetian windows and generic coat of arms. He was called the "Small Imperial Palace" because the finishing of interiors was hit by imagination: various architectural styles were harmoniously intertwined in the decoration of the halls. The Grand Duke was the president of the Academy of Arts and collect painting.

In the first third of the 20th century, the house of scientists was opened in the palace, where meetings, round tables, open lectures, disputes were opened.

The palace was intended to Count Orlov, but he never settled in it - the graph died two years before the end of construction work. Catherine II had to buy a palace at his heirs. For a while, the favorite of the Empress Stanislav is the favorite of the Empress, and then the building passed into possession of the princes of Romanov. The grandson of Catherine II lived here, the Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, then the son of Nicholas I, Konstantin, and the heirs of his kind.

The exposition presents the work of foreign artists of the XVIII - the beginning of the XIX century. From time to time there are exhibitions of works of modern masters.

The walls of the marble palace had a long-standing armored car "Enemy Capital". The car was established in memory of Lenin, speaking at the armored personnel of a similar model in 1917. Now there is the authorship of Paolo Trubetsky, who worked on him at the beginning of the 20th century. Previously, he stood on Znamenskaya Square, not far from the modern Moscow railway station. The monument was created as a tribute to the founder of the Siberian path. The sculpture captured the appearance of the emperor, and the true portrait of the emperor, but a true portrait similarity. In 1919, the monument appeared an ironic poem of Demyan poor "scarecrow". He was also involved in a celebration dedicated to the decade of the October Revolution. The monument was placed in a cage, decorated with sickle, hammer and emblem "USSR". Since 1937, the monument was resting in the Russian Museum and was returned to the city only in the early 1990s.

The territory belonged to Count Alexander Vorontsov, who renounced his own rights. By the decision of the neighbor, Feldmarshal General Nikolai Saltykov, the garden was broken here. In 1818, the state bought the site, and the area was created at this place, which worked for Karl Rossi over the plan.

In the center of the square, the bronze monument to the commander, Alexander Suvorov, was installed, over which Mikhail Kozlovsky worked. Initially, he stood on a Mars field.

Originally, a spruce grove said. A little later, Domenico Trezini built a pavilion for Peter I, where the king spent the clock of rest. In 1750, Bartolomeo Rastrelli erected on the liberated space of the opera house, where European troupes gave speeches. For a long time the building rented Italian theater. After 22 years, the Opera House was demolished, and the construction of the mansion of Personal secretary of Catherine II, Ivan Beetsky began. Among the guests of the official were Denis Didro and Ivan Krylov. It was here that the Basinisian engaged in publishing and issued the magazines "Spectator" and "St. Petersburg Mercury".

In 1830, the mansion was redeemed by the state treasury and presented to the prince of Oldenburg. Architect Vasily Stasov re-separated the building. The son of Prince Oldenburg has sold the mansion to the temporary government for 1.5 million rubles. After the October Revolution, the domestic chambers were divided into communal apartments, then a museum and a museum named after Saltykov-Shchedrin appeared in the former palace. In the second half of the 20th century, the mansion was connected to the Saltykov home, so the wing of St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts is also located here.

One of the oldest buildings of the city was built in 1714. Dominico Trezini created a baroque palace, very simple and modest inside. Outside the building is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting the events of the Northern War. In the palace 14 rooms and 2 cuisines. The palace was built for the rest of Peter I in the summer. After the death of the king, Sanovnik lived here, and with Alexander I, the palace became publicly available. In 1934, he opened the museum. In the middle of the 20th century a large restoration was produced. Now the building is a branch of the Russian Museum.

It was conceived as a regular park and a personal residence of the king. In 1704, official landscape work began. For 15 years, the garden acquired the desired appearance. It was started to start visitors, they did it selectively and on Sundays. The composition of the summer garden was engaged in Jean Baptiste Leblon, and Bartolomeo Rastrelli created a wooden palace for Anna Joanovna, the amphitheater cascade and the Fountain "Corona". The garden filled venetian sculptures, becoming, along with fountains, its main decoration. Later, the flood destroyed the fountains and the Pavilion "Grotto", which were decided not to restore. The fence appeared in 1784, and in 1855 a monument to the wing was established here. Gradually, the garden acquired the features of the landscape English Park and fully opened the door to the public. In 2012, the reconstruction of the summer garden was over, whose layout was given the initial appearance.

Palace Embankment - almost the same rove in St. Petersburg. In 1705, at the then still marsh river banks built a house of one of the creators of the Army Fleet, Admiral General Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin. Later, Anna Ioannovna was settled in this house. As the embankment itself, originally called the top, the mansion was wooden. On him, during the active development period, the so-called "red line" was determined for the street.

In 1712, the wedding chambers of Peter I were erected, nearby the houses of the emperor were gradually grew nearby. Four years later, a personal residence of the king was erected here - the Winter Palace of Peter (today preserved only partially and is located in the building of the Hermitage Theater). And in 1710-1714 in the summer garden, the construction of the same name Palace on the project Domenico Trezini, the founder of the European school in domestic architecture was taken. This building came to us in almost unchanged and now is a branch of the Russian Museum.

The central quarters gradually turned into the kingdom of "Stone Chambers", but only in the middle of the XVIII century, when the river was installed in the shallow water of the river and additionally strengthened the land of the land, the construction of an updated embankment was possible. It was with the Palace that the history of the stone streets of the city began, it was the first to be ridiculed into granite slabs in accordance with the design of the architect Yuri Felten. At the same time, the first moor ladders appeared. After the construction of the Winter Palace on the project Bartolomeo Rastrelli behind the embankment, its modern name was secured.

However, half a century later, the appearance of the street was not at all the parade - piles of building materials were piled between barns and sheds, intended for the construction of the General Staff. By order of Nicholas I, another architect with Italian roots, Karl Rossi, developed a reconstruction project. The descent to the Neva was decorated with bronze sculptures of lions and vases from polished Porphira. The latter became a gift to the Russian emperor from King Sweden Charles XIV. In 1873, both were transferred to the Admiralty embankment, where there are still.

Since its inception, the street was different names: cash or stone line, upper or millions of embankment, the embankment of the Ninthian January. Since 1944, the name of the Palace Embankment was officially enshrined.

Attractions Palace Embankment

Palace embankment included in the list of cultural heritage of the Russian Federation. Due to the fact that the building continued not one decade continued, it is impossible to say that the buildings that stand here are made in a single architectural style, each era had its own dominant. Initially, the tone was asked in the spirit of Petrovsky Baroque Summer and Winter Residences of the First Russian Emperor. Then came the turn of the monumental rococo. The heritage of these styles guests can be seen in the facades of the Winter Palace and Great Hermitage. But in the original form, most of the monuments of the XVIII century were not preserved and were either completely demolished, like a wooden opera house, on the site of which the Betsky mansion is now located, or significantly redone in the following years, as the Palace of Cantemir, the efforts of several architects turned into the House of Gromov.

But there are many samples of classicism on the palace embankment and today there are still a lot of: the Hermitage Theater, the Winter Palace of Peter I, the Marble Palace is the first St. Petersburg building, fully lined with natural stone, Saltykov's house with partially preserved interiors, already mentioned above the Betsky House, small Hermitage.

The Gromova Mansion and the Novo-Mikhailovsky Palace represent architectural eclectics, since with numerous alterations initiated by the heirs or new owners, architects largely retained the features of the initial buildings. A separate line is worth mentioning the former palace of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, where the house of scientists is now located. In the second half of the XIX century, he was designed by the first chairman of the St. Petersburg Society of Architects Alexander Rezanov in the style of Florentine Palazzo.

Interestingly, with all the inhomogeneity of the buildings, the Palace Embankment in St. Petersburg looks harmonious and architecturally holistic.

The palace embankment can be called one of the most beautiful and famous embankments of St. Petersburg. It is here that the attractions of the Northern Capital are famous for the whole world: Hermitage, Winter Palace, Russian Museum, House of Scientists and many others. From this street, an excellent view of the Arrow of the Vasilyevsky Island and Petropavlovsk Fortress opens. There is a palace embankment on the left bank of the Neva from the Kutuzov embankment and to the Admiralty Embankment. Its length is 1300 meters.

On the palace embankment there are famous attractions of the Northern Capital: Hermitage, Winter Palace, Russian Museum, Socked House and many others. From this street, an excellent view of the Arrow of the Vasilyevsky Island and Petropavlovsk Fortress opens.

The palace embankment began to build enough early - at the very beginning of the 18th century. The architectural tone of the buildings asked the summer and winter residence of Peter I. Close to the king people also began to build their homes on this earth. In 1705, the first wooden house of General Admiral Fyodor Apraksin appeared. The building determined the Red Street line, and all other structures began to erect according to this line.

Palace embankment

Palace Embankment had a lot of titles: Cash line, Upper Stone Line, Millionnae. Often it was called postal due to the fact that the postal courtyard was located here. In 1762, Rastrelli architect built a royal residence here - the Winter Palace. After that, the embankment, the area and the bridge, located nearby, began to call the palace. Already at the Soviet government, the street was renamed the Nest's Naberezhnya. But in 1944 she returned the old name.

To transport the main part of the Alexandrovsk column, the weight of which is 600 tons, we used a special berth on the palace embankment. Engineer Glaksin has developed a special bot, capable of lifting cargo to 1100 tons. In order to unload the monolith, even built a new pier.

Gradually, the embankment was getting better and better: she was dressed in granite and made comfortable descents to the river. By the way, until the middle of the 18th century, all St. Petersburg embankments were wooden. Palace embankment became the first stone street. Nevertheless, in the 20s of the 19th century, the territory around the Winter Palace remained neglected. It was planned to build the building of the General Staff building and therefore everywhere lay workers, piles of sand and boards, and all sorts of warehouses and barns were located. Nicholas I instructed the architect Karl Rossi lead this place in order. Rossi developed a project of beautiful descent to the Neva, decorated with doskur sculptures and lions. But the emperor was not impressed by the sculptures of the young men, restraining horses, so they were replaced by porphyry vases. Subsequently, in connection with the construction of the palace bridge, the pier with lions moved to the Admiralty embankment.

The Palace Embankment was always famous for the fact that well-known and influential people lived here: the Romanov dynasty, the poet Ivan Krylov, Graf Sergey Witte.
