Hello, friends! Today I will show you my city and tell you the attraction that you can visit for free if you come to St. Petersburg.
In the Alexander garden, 100 meters from the metro station "Gorkovskaya" there is a small Park of architectural miniatures. Working hours: 9:00-22:00
The exhibition is a layout of the main architectural attractions of the city, which are located on a small granite space.
Architectural copies of the buildings are made of bronze in scale 1: 33.
Nearby is a sculptural composition called "Architects".
These 8 persons - 8 great architects, who created architectural masterpieces of St. Petersburg: Voronikhin, Bazhenov, Thomas de Thomon, Rossi, Rastrelli, Trezzini, Montferrand and Zakharov.
One chair free. It can be used by any person. Tourists are often photographed here, next to the architects.
I had a camera with a fixed lens that day (it just fits in my women's bag), so all the photos are in the form of small objects.
This is a copy of an angel on top of the Alexander column, which is located on the Palace square.
All copies of the buildings are placed in the same order as they are on the city map. The Neva river and the channels mimics the black and sleek tiles. Sometimes it is so shiny that it really seems that you can step into the water.
I think the downside is that all copies of the architecture don't have nameplates. I as a resident of the city know them and can tell the difference. There are Petropavloskaya fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, Hermitage Museum, Mikhailovsky castle, the Kazan Cathedral, the Admiralty, the Rostral Columns. But many tourists can not know these buildings from memory.
Columns of the Kazan Cathedral.
Autumn comes to the city..
Chariot on the arch Of the General staff. Feel like a Gulliver in the land of Lilliputians.
Here you can see a small part of the Hermitage
Sculptures on the roof of the Hermitage
The Building Of The Admiralty.
Here is a small walk through the main architectural attractions of the city. All in one place :)
Thanks for your support and comments!
Cheers

beautiful miniatures !!! and lots of great photos <3 i have visited one such place before, and it's always wonderful to see these tiny architectures re-created in smaller forms :)

Thanks, Gaz! Yes, autumn is warm and pleasant now. It's time to walk around this mini-city)
Классные фото! Спасибо за отличный пост;)
Спасибо, что заглядываете )
cool
thanks!
These kind of miniature are awesome. moreover being an architect myself I found these kind of things to be much fascinating.
Wow, you're an architect! I think this is a very cool profession) Thanks for the comment )
That is some great photography there and the miniatures in the right angle almost looks real. I especially love the cathedral as I go nuts over religious architecture.
@watersnake101 By the way, I also like religious architecture - churches, cathedrals, mosques! It looks very majestic!
I go crazy over church architecture and I could spend an hour or so just taking photos. We have a lot of Spanish church architecture here
Oh, I didn't know the Philippines was a Spanish colony :( ...In any case, they left a beautiful architecture...
Yes for over 300 years that's why we have a lot of Spanish influences in our culture. There are a lot of architecture that still stands today.
@watersnake101 What about foreign languages? Spanish is more common as a foreign language?
English is the second main language and a lot of people here understands english. When it comes to Spanish there is Spanish based creole language here called Chabacano. Here in our city a lot of the old folks still knows the language and very few young people know it. The language sad to say is fading away. I just wished I could still learn it. Most of the local words that we have here are Spanish influenced too.
