Building of Mining Institute
Building of Mining Institute, Architectural landmark in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia
The Mining Institute building features a grand southern facade with twelve Doric columns and a triangular pediment adorned with symbolic reliefs.
Empress Catherine II established Russia's first technical school in 1773, which later relocated to this classical building constructed between 1806 and 1811.
The entrance displays two monumental sculptural groups depicting 'Hercules Fighting Antaeus' and 'The Abduction of Proserpina' made from Pudost travertine stone.
The building houses Saint Petersburg Mining University and contains the world's third-largest natural science museum collection.
The interior includes the Column Hall, Malachite Hall, and Hall of Caryatids, decorated by master craftsman A.I. Postnikov.
