Museum-Monument "St. Isaac's Cathedral"
Saint Isaac of Dalmatia was considered the patron saint of Peter the Great, since the future first Russian emperor was born on May 30, the day of this saint. On his 38th birthday, in 1710, Peter ordered the construction of a wooden church of St. Isaac in St. Petersburg, in which he married Catherine I two years later. And five years later, the builders began to erect a stone church on this site. The emperor issued a decree that all Baltic sailors take the oath only in this temple. The church was built for about 30 years, but the swampy soil swallowed the efforts of the architects, and the building soon had to be dismantled.

Garden "Aquarium"
The history of the Aquarium Garden is amazing and interesting.
A tiny green park in the center of Moscow could not appear here just like that, it was clearly part of some other garden. It all started with the lands of the Novodevichy Monastery. "What does the aquarium have to do with it?" - the inquisitive will ask. History gives the following answer to this: at different times there was a shooting range, a bowling alley, a winter skating rink in the garden. An aquarium was installed in one of the gazebos - hence the name. Although, of course, it can be assumed that the tiny garden flaunts like a green window in the middle of a dense building, surrounded by theaters on both sides.

Konka Monument
This is an exact copy of the horse-drawn tram of the late XIX century, recreated according to drawings.
This was the first version of public transport in St. Petersburg, which had one or two floors. The two-storey horse-drawn carriages were open, a spiral staircase led up, they cost less. The horse-drawn carriages rode on special rails, they were driven by one or two horses.
The car was serviced by two people - a carriage driver who drove horses, and a conductor, and 22-24 passengers were placed there. Only strong men were engaged in this work, because it was very difficult to control the car, especially when climbing and descending.
