Mansion of Yakovlevs, Classical mansion at Fontanka River embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The three-story green building features an eight-column portico facing the river and contains a central rotunda with a cast iron staircase.

The mansion, constructed between 1780 and 1790 by architect Georgy Wintergalter, received additional renovations in 1856 that preserved its classical elements.

The mansion's rotunda became a meeting point for musicians and artists in the 1970s, including members of the band Kino and local performers.

The building stands at the intersection of Gorokhovaya Street 57 and Fontanka River embankment 81, near Sennaya Ploschad metro station.

Inside the mansion, a curved cast iron staircase winds through the rotunda, creating an optical illusion of endless ascension along the circular walls.

Location: Saint Petersburg
