We introduce a tour around Palace Square, the main square in St. Petersburg, and the surrounding buildings and bridges. From the point of view of urban planning studies, Palace Square is acknowledged to be one of the most harmonious and balanced architectural ensembles in the world.
Constructed by different architects at different times, it is amazing the way the buildings harmonise with one another. The square occupies a central space not only in the city’s list of architectural masterpieces, but also in the life of its inhabitants.
