Neva, River system in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, Russia.
The Neva River extends 74 kilometers from Lake Ladoga through Saint Petersburg before flowing into the Gulf of Finland.
The river played a central role in the Battle of Neva in 1240, where Prince Alexander Yaroslavich defeated Swedish forces on its banks.
Many palaces, including the Winter Palace and Peter and Paul Fortress, line the riverbanks through Saint Petersburg's central districts.
The river functions as part of the Volga-Baltic Waterway system, allowing large vessels to navigate between different water bodies in northwestern Russia.
Twenty bridges span the Neva in Saint Petersburg, with many designed to open at night, permitting larger ships to pass through the city.
