Kamennyy Most

...and on the 8th day, God made Kamenny bridge

Most beautiful bridge

A very beautiful bridge, worth a visit.

A wonderful bridge, I highly recommend it. It connects two banks, which greatly improves the convenience of crossing the channel.

The Stone Bridge is one of the oldest surviving bridges in St. Petersburg. It is a monument of architecture and bridge building art of federal significance. Since 1739 there was a wooden bridge with the name Medium (formerly Gorokhovaya Street - Medium Perspective). In 1766 a stone bridge was built, which was called Yekaterininsky (formerly the name of the canal), but the name Kamenny took root. The facades of the bridge are beautifully faced with granite using a special method of processing granite blocks - "diamond rust". At the end of the XIX century. The steepness of the bridge was reduced and the stair descents removed. The grid of the bridge corresponds to the channel enclosure. The ribbon of the Griboedov Canal with different architecture houses on its embankments looks beautiful from the bridge. Although it is difficult to contemplate on this bridge, it is part of a very busy, noisy and dusty transport highway along Gorokhovaya Street.
