Alexander Column is the biggest column in the world and it is located in the center of the Palace Square, in front of Hermitage, in St. Petersburg. Really this column is impressive and the full complex with the Palace Square and the Hermitage at background is incredible: one of the best photos in the city. A top in the city. (see also Hermitage and Palace Square)

Bronze Horseman, Monument To Peter I

A gallant and heroic Peter the Great atop a horse is depicted in this striking statue on Decembrist (Senate) Square commissioned by Catherine the Great to honor her predecessor.

An important monument in an historically important part of the city. Both Peter and his horse are poised for action. Design happens to allow for many excellent photo angles. Of course, free to enjoy.
