In-Depth Information
Anichkov most
( Аничков мост ; ) St Petersburg's most striking bridge features
rearing horses at all four corners, symbolising man's struggle with and taming of
nature.
Bankovsky most
(
Банковский мост
; )
This beauty is suspended by cables
emerging from the mouths of golden-winged griffins. The name - meaning Bank
Bridge, something that does not quite fit this whimsical creation - comes from
the Assignment Bank (now a further-education institute), which stands on one
side of the bridge.
Most Lomonosova
( Мост Ломоносова ; ) Four Doric towers contain the mech-
anism that pulls up the moveable central section, allowing boat traffic to pass
along the Fontanka underneath.
Lviny most
( Львиный мост ; ) Another suspension bridge, this one is suppor-
ted by two pairs of regal lions, which give the bridge its name.
Panteleymonovsky most
( Пантелеймоновский мост ; ) At the confluence of
the Moyka and the Fontanka, this beauty features lamp posts bedecked with the
double-headed eagle and railings adorned with the coat of arms.
1-y Inzhenerny most
( Первый Инженерный мост ; ) While there is no short-
age of adornment on the cast-iron bridge leading to Mikhailovsky Castle (

), the highlight is the Chizhik-Pyzhik, the statue of the little bird that hovers
over the Moyka.

( Синний мост ; Blue Bridge; ),

Bridge; ),
Zelyony most
( Зелёный мост ; Green Bridge; )
