The city on the Neva was founded at the dawn of the 18th century. Its architectural aspect is due to men of genius who worked there over the centuries.
Beautiful ensembles and individual buildings of different styles and various periods - Baroque, Neo-Classicism, Art Nouveau, Constructivism, etc. - can be seen today in the city, together with specimens of modern architecture.
Austere and poetical, multi-face and complete, Leningrad (today called St. Petersburg) is one of the most beautiful cities inthe world. |
