Griboedov Canal Embankment, Canal embankment in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Griboedov Canal stretches for 5 kilometers through central Saint Petersburg, featuring 21 bridges and granite-reinforced banks along its course.
Engineers F.V. Baur and I.N. Borisov supervised the construction of the embankment from 1764 to 1790, incorporating drainage systems and transportation routes.
The canal appears prominently in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, serving as a central location for the protagonist's narrative journey.
The embankment connects the Moyka River to the Fontanka River, providing access to notable structures including the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.
The canal follows the path of the former Krivusha River, reaching a width of 32 meters and maintaining its original eighteenth-century granite fortifications.
