Ciniselli Circus, Circus building in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Ciniselli Circus features a grand circular structure with a 49-meter dome, established on Fontanka River Embankment in Saint Petersburg.
The circus opened its doors in 1877 as Russia's first permanent stone circus building, constructed under the direction of Italian entrepreneur Gaetano Ciniselli.
The Saint Petersburg State Circus maintains traditional Russian circus arts through performances combining acrobatics, animal acts, and theatrical elements.
The circus building contains 1,911 seats, modern technical equipment, and a ring measuring 13 meters in diameter with specialized flooring for performances.
The dome construction used innovative engineering methods, eliminating the need for supporting columns to create an unobstructed view for spectators.
