One of Saint Petersburg's most iconic bridges, carrying Nevsky Prospect over the Fontanka River. The three-arch stone crossing is world-famous for its four dramatic bronze sculpture groups, 'The Horse Tamers', sculpted by Peter Clodt to depict man's triumph over wild nature. The ornate cast-iron railings feature mythical sea horses and mermaids designed after drawings by German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
Highlights
- Peter Clodt's famous quartet of 'The Horse Tamers' sculptures
- Ornate cast-iron railings with sea horses after Schinkel
- Scenic views over the Fontanka River and Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace
- Preserved World War II shell shrapnel scars on the pedestal
