Singer house
The first building on the site of the current Book House, familiar to every resident of St. Petersburg, was erected back in 1737. Here, where Nevsky Prospekt is now crossed by the Griboyedov Canal, formerly known as the Glukha River, according to the design of engineer Herman van Boles, the so-called mazanchovy arena was built, in which one of the city's theaters is located. The building, the walls of which were wooden, and the foundation was made of stone, served theatergoers twelve years - in 1749 it was destroyed by fire.
After 28 years, a three-story house was built on the site of the theater that burned down, in which Ivan Ivanovich Panfilov, the confessor of Tsarina Catherine II, settled. A little later, the building went to the St. Petersburg officials Borozdin, and closer to the middle of the XIX century, it was owned by an enterprising pharmacist, the inventor of the legendary Imzen Chocolate, allegedly curing any disease — Karl Imsen.

Vorontsov Palace
The palace building, originally owned by the Russian diplomat, statesman and Chancellor of the Russian Empire Count Mikhail Vorontsov, is distinguished by rich interior and facade decoration, beautiful stucco molding and lush, gilded carvings. Vorontsovsky Palace is separated from Sadovaya Street by a massive cast-iron fence.
Interestingly, Count Vorontsov, although he was a very wealthy person, still had to refuse to participate in the construction, since the building with dozens of state halls and luxurious interiors turned out to be too expensive. As a result, the Vorontsov Palace became part of the Russian treasury, and after a while it housed the Order of Malta, the oldest religious community of the Roman Catholic Church. At the beginning of the 19th century, architect Giacomo Quarenghi built the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist in the palace, and on the garden side, according to his own design, the Maltese Chapel was added to the main building of the palace.

Lidval House
Fedor Lidval's apartment building was built in 1904. At that time, the site belonged to the young man's mother. Its construction was the first work of a young architect who had just graduated from the architectural department of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
The debut was sold out — the house went down in the history of Russian architecture as an encyclopedia of decorative and plastic techniques. The building is a residential complex of complex configuration. It consists of three large-shaped buildings of different heights, almost complete lack of decor, a combination of various building materials. The buildings were decorated with colored plaster, artistic metal forging, sculptural reliefs from figures of animals, birds, insects and plants. Inside the building, the system of natural lighting was well thought out.

Damn Wasteland
According to legend, on the site of the current Ekaterinhof Park near the Narvskaya metro station, there was a wasteland before the revolution, popularly nicknamed the Devil's Wasteland. At night, creepy sounds and wandering lights flashed from there. At the beginning of the 20th century, the wasteland was bought by the manufacturer Shakanidi, who was fond of mysticism and spiritualism. He built a mansion here with a large park.
Because of this, the manufacturer in the area had a reputation as a sorcerer. In 1918, Chekists came to Shakanidi with a search. The manufacturer resisted this and was shot dead on the spot. His body was put in a bag and drowned in one of the ponds of the park. And soon a boarding house for the old Bolsheviks and political prisoners was placed in the mansion. Convicts, who were not afraid of the royal casemates and satraps, as...

Fountain house
The poetess moved here to live with her new husband, art critic Nikolai Punin, in 1924. Before that, “homeless” Akhmatova found her corner here for thirty years. After parting with Punin in 1938, she simply changed rooms and stayed in the Fountain House.
The difficult years of deprivation, terror, and ban on publications ended with a creative flourishing for Akhmatova in 1940, when she had written more than thirty works. Many of them were memorized by friends for preservation, because the manuscripts were unreliable at the time. Akhmatova returned to the same apartment after being evacuated in 1944, and her son Lev Gumilyov, who had returned from the war, settled in the next room.
The modern exposition of the museum recreates the meager environment of their lives. However, the walls are decorated with priceless portraits of Anna Akhmatova by Lev Bruni, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Zinaida Serebryakova. Another part of the exhibi...

University of Technology and Design
Starting from the first half of the XVIII century, on the site where house No. 18 on Bolshaya Morskaya Street is currently located, which forms the perspective of the street from Nevsky Prospekt, several buildings. First, there was a meat and fish market. Later, a plot of land at this address was bought by Yakov Kentner, a barber and a bathhouse attendant. He built stone baths here, which were destroyed by a fire in 1736. An apartment building was erected on the ashes, first one-story, then a five-story building.
In 1903, the House on Bolshaya Morskaya Street housed the Charles store and the Association of St. Petersburg Mechanical Footwear Production, which gave birth to the Soviet shoe brand Skorokhod.
The house has acquired a modern look for a very long time. After it was decided to build a bank on this site, a tender was announced in 1913. The final design was approved in 1915. Construction began...

Princess Dashkova's Manor
The building, designed by Giacomo Quarenghi, belonged to Ekaterina Romanovna Dashkova. The princess was an important figure in the history of science and the development of the Russian language in our country.
In 2007, a museum was opened here dedicated to historic St. Petersburg, Peterhof Road, in particular. Until the end of the 19th century, there were about a hundred palaces in these places, the architectural ensembles of which were worked by leading architects of the era. Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol, Tchaikovsky — all these names are somehow connected with the history of the Peterhof Road. This is evidenced by the permanent exhibition of the museum.

Trinity Cathedral
In 1762, Empress Catherine II ordered the construction of a Classicist temple on the site of the church built by Domenico Trezzini. The project, executed by architect Ivan Starov, was approved, and in 1778 the building was laid. The cathedral was consecrated in 1790 on the day of St. Alexander Nevsky. His relics, which were previously stored in the Church of the Annunciation, were transferred here.
The cathedral is located in the center of the ensemble, which makes up the composition of the buildings of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. On either side of it there are Dukhovskoy and Fyodorovsky corps. Since its illumination, the cathedral received the status of an order, in honor of which the relief of the order appeared at its entrance, and the building itself was equipped with a hall for cavaliers.

Commandant House of Peter and Paul Fortress
You can find the Commandant's House between Naryshkin Bastion and Peter and Paul Cathedral. The first such building was built in 1704, it was a very simple wooden house that served only as a dwelling. However, in the 1740s, the current commandant of the fortress Stepan Ignatiev achieved the construction of a new stone building, the architectural design of which resembled Gostiny Dvor. At the same time, an additional service wing, also made of stone, appeared.
Ignatiev's house served as the basis, but in the future it was rebuilt several times. Finally, at the end of the century before last, the building acquired its current appearance.

Stroganov Palace
The appearance of the building is characterized by a special style consistency and strictness of the composition. In the central part there are paired columns and a pediment with Stroganov's coat of arms.
In 1790, the palace was repeatedly reconstructed according to the project of Andrey Voronikhin. This time, new buildings were created in the style of classicism. The building has its own library, Mineral and Picture rooms. It was here that the real alchemical laboratory — the Physical Room — was located.
Special attention should be paid to the art gallery, which has a huge collection of works by such famous artists as Botticelli, Bechet, Bronzino, Rembrandt and others.

Sobchak Square
The authorities decided to perpetuate this, of course, legendary name, by naming the square in one of the historical places of the city. Despite the wishes of the president (by the way, Putin was a friend and ally of Anatoly Aleksandrovich) and the merits of Sobchak, this idea had many opponents, including the toponymic commission, which tirelessly reminded us of the rule not to name streets after those who left our world less than 30 years ago. But still, in this case, we decided to make an exception.
By the way, in addition to the battles because of the name, the square is known for its beautiful lantern alley, which is nice to walk along on a quiet evening.

Stensil-art on Tchaikovskogo, 2
Stensil-art is a kind of graffiti, the drawing is applied using a stencil. The most famous apologist of wall art is Banksy. But he clearly did not work on Tchaikovsky Street (we would have understood right away!). Petersburg writers left their mark in the form of portraits of iconic personalities, including Kurt Cobain, Che Guevara, Dalai Lama XIV, Jimi Hendrix and others.

Chapel at the grave of Xenia the Blessed
The chapel was built at the beginning of the 20th century at the Smolenskoye cemetery, where the saint is buried. First, the blessed admirers dismantled the earth from the hill on her grave (it had to be poured three times), then they dismantled the slab into pebbles, which covered the grave.
People believe that this saint performs miracles through prayer and fulfills desires. To make your wish come true, you need to write it on a piece of paper, then walk around the chapel three times and put it under the candle box. Numerous miraculous events with people who visited the chapel testify to the marvelous power of the saint, which does not leave in trouble those who come to her for help.
You can also visit the chapel and venerate the holy icon outside the church service, at any convenient time. It is located in one of the city cemeteries. In general, if you have time and there is no fear of cemete...

Savva Yakovlev's house
In 1810, a workshop producing marble and gypsum products was opened in the house, which at that time was the largest residential building in St. Petersburg.
At the end of the 19th century, the famous Russian writer and literary critic Vsevolod Garshin lived in the former house of Yakovlev, in one of the many apartments. At the beginning of the 20th century, the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky often visited the building that housed the Russian Telegraph Agency at that time. The “Menagerie Theatre”, which demonstrated unique live pictures, also gathered the audience here.
The former house of Savva Yakovlev is well known to many citizens of the older generation, because during the Soviet era, the Dieta store housed its windows - one of the few places in the city where you can buy scarce fish and meat.

Solyanoy Pereulok
The lane takes its name from the salt warehouses that were located on its territory in the 18th century. In addition, once there was a Salt Town near the lane - a quarter bounded by the Fontanka embankment, Pestelya Street and the lane itself, where wine and food were soon stored. The town ceased to exist due to a reform to abolish the monopoly on the sale of salt, which led to a popular revolt.
Most residents of St. Petersburg know the lane as the street where the building of the Museum of Applied Arts of the St. Petersburg State Academy of Arts and Industry is located

Timofeev's tenement house
The three-room apartment on the upper, fifth floor was the first separate dwelling of Alexander Blok and his wife. Their family life did not go well right away, and the move of the young to a separate apartment, new, smelling of damp plaster, with windows into the yard-well, did not contribute to strengthening relations.
Beggars and cripples came to the yard, narrow and tall, almost every day, played the barrel organ, danced and sang sad long songs — for charity. And against this bleak background, both spouses suddenly broke out romances, she had affairs with the poet Chulkov, he had an actress Volokhova, a prototype of the Snow Mask and the inspiration for the poems of the Faina cycle. But the poet remains a poet, he reads to the actors of the Komissarzhevskaya Theater a new play “The King on the Square”, censorship does not allow it to be staged. Then his othe...
