Malo-Petrovsky bridge, Stone bridge over Griboyedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Malo-Petrovsky Bridge is a stone bridge crossing the Griboyedov Canal in Saint Petersburg, linking Kolomna Island with Pokrovsky Island. The structure measures about 27.7 meters long and 16.2 meters wide.

Engineer I. Borisov built the bridge in 1783 during the implementation of granite embankments along the canal. Major modifications occurred in 1808 as part of efforts to upgrade the structure.

The bridge appears in Nikolai Gogol's story 'The Overcoat' as the place where the protagonist's ghost manifests. This literary connection draws readers and literature enthusiasts to the location.

The bridge is easily accessible on foot and serves as a good starting point for exploring the surrounding canal area. Visitors can take time to examine the stone details and granite piers at their own pace.

The bridge preserves replicas of its original 1808 lighting fixtures and granite obelisks on the piers. These elements were carefully restored during a comprehensive renovation in 2007.
