Round Market, Marketplace in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Round Market is a stone building from 1790 designed by Giacomo Quarenghi, occupying the block between Krygly Pereulok, Aptekarsky Pereulok and the Moika embankment. Its plan is triangular with rounded corners, which gave it its name. Inside were 21 shops rented to private traders, reached from an outer gallery by external stairs.

The site held a market from the early 18th century, first the Finnish Market, later called Kharchovy, which burned in 1732. A wooden round market was built in 1782, and Giacomo Quarenghi designed the stone building erected between 1785 and 1790 with 21 rented stalls. In the 1930s it was converted into housing, and since 2010 it has housed the Sovcomflot headquarters.

The name comes from the rounded corners of its triangular plan, not from a circular shape. The market was originally called the Finnish Market, after a nearby Finnish church, then Kharchenyy, and became the Round Market at the end of the 18th century. Its 21 stalls were rented to private traders who sold meat, vegetables and milk.

The building occupies the whole block between Krugly Pereulok, Aptekarsky Pereulok and the Moyka embankment, near the Bolshaya Konyushennaya bridge. It now houses the headquarters of the Sovcomflot shipping company, so the former trading gallery is not open as a market; the restored facades and the granite descent to the Moyka can be seen from the street.

The building's plan is a triangle with rounded corners, not a circle; the name comes from that curved outline. Since 2010 it has housed the headquarters of the shipping company Sovcomflot, and the interior redesign from 2012 kept the historic wall layout unchanged.
