Petrov Building, Architectural monument on Fontanka River Embankment in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The three-story cylindrical structure features rusticated walls on lower levels and circular inner courtyard accessed through arched entrances.
In 1822, architect Joseph-Jean Charlemagne designed this building for merchant Ustinov, incorporating two existing two-story houses into the construction.
From May to autumn 1827, Alexander Pushkin regularly visited his parents who resided in this classicist building near Gorokhovaya Street.
The circular design of the building maximizes natural light distribution throughout the courtyard and interior spaces of all residential units.
This structure stands as the first and only circular residential building in Saint Petersburg, incorporating distinctive female masks above second-floor windows.
