Ioannovsky Bridge, Footbridge in Petrogradsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The wooden structure spans across the Kronverksky Strait, connecting the Peter and Paul Fortress with the Petrograd Side through multiple sections.
Initially constructed in 1703 as a floating wooden bridge, it underwent several reconstructions with significant changes in 1706, 1738, and complete restoration in 1950.
Named after Saint John the Baptist, the bridge received its current designation in 1887, replacing its former name of Petrovsky Bridge.
The bridge features granite sidewalks, cobbled paving, and decorative lamps at the entrance, making it suitable for pedestrian exploration of the area.
A metal sculpture of a hare, installed in 2003 on a pile next to the bridge, commemorates the animals that sought refuge during floods.
