Have you ever wondered why the railing of the Palace Bridge with Soviet symbols?
It began to be built before the First World War. Failures of suppliers and disputes about the architectural design forced it to be opened already before the revolutions and with imperfections.
If only to give people, crews and trams a crossing.
The abutments and supports did not have granite parapets. They put plywood instead!
Lampposts were put up temporarily - not with eagles, but ordinary cast-iron pipes.
Those spans that are bred were covered with boards.
And the railings were wooden, temporary.
They were replaced by cast iron ones only in 1939.
At the same time, they wanted to put on foundations and supports the 7-meter figures of a worker, a peasant woman, an allegory of “Friendship of Peoples“ ... They did not, thank God. Otherwise, the view of the Winter Palace, Strelka, Kunstkamera, Admiralty would be ruined irreversibly.
You can walk around the bridge in 20 minutes.
We’ll spend 7 and a half
We just go along the pedestrian crossing from the lion’s pier and continue along the western side of the bridge over the Strelka and the Rostral columns to the eastern one.
Until it started to rain.
During this time, we will trample on all types of St. Petersburg paving: asphalt, paving stones, granite slabs and sand.
And we will see a rapid change in the weather: from sunny to blue-black clouds with rain streaks over Petropavlovka...
St. Petersburg is a city of contrasts!
