Fontanka Embankment 154, Regional cultural heritage site on Fontanka River Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Fontanka Embankment 154 is a Russian Revival building located along the granite-lined Fontanka River embankment in Saint Petersburg. The structure was designed by Julius Benois and features elaborate decorative elements typical of this architectural style.

The building was constructed during the major development of the Fontanka embankment in the 18th century that transformed the area. This period of urban growth created a cohesive series of historical structures along the waterfront.

The building displays Russian Revival architectural features that shaped the appearance of Saint Petersburg's riverside. You can observe the ornamental details and proportions that define this building style.

The building can be easily reached by walking along the Fontanka embankment and is visible from the public walkway. The area is accessible year-round, though summer months offer the best viewing of the architectural details.

The facade retains original granite elements that preserve 18th-century craftsmanship and construction techniques. These details make the building a notable example of careful restoration work along the embankment.
