Senate Square & St. Isaac's Cathedral

The Bronze Horseman and Imperial Square

This camera overlooks Senate Square, one of the most storied public spaces in Saint Petersburg. At its center stands the Bronze Horseman, Étienne Falconet's celebrated equestrian statue of Peter the Great, unveiled in 1782 atop the colossal Thunder Stone.

Neoclassical Architecture

Behind the monument rises the sweeping façade of the Senate and Synod Building, designed by Carlo Rossi, its colonnaded wings and triumphal arch defining the western edge of the square and the riverside embankment.

St. Isaac's Golden Dome

Beyond the trees, the gilded dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral dominates the skyline. One of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world, its massive granite columns and shimmering cupola are among the city's defining landmarks.

A Living UNESCO Cityscape

Set within the historic center of Saint Petersburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the view captures the constant flow of the city — pedestrians, cyclists and traffic moving past monuments that have watched over the Neva for centuries.
