Zodchego Rossi Street, Federal cultural heritage street in Tsentralny District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The street spans 220 meters in length and 22 meters in width, featuring identical three-story buildings with white Doric half-columns along both sides.
Italian architect Carlo Rossi designed and constructed this street between 1828 and 1834 as part of a larger urban development project in Saint Petersburg.
The street houses the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet, which moved into building number 2 in 1836 following an order from Emperor Nicholas I.
Visitors can reach the street by taking the metro to Gostiny Dvor station and walking through the central district of Saint Petersburg.
The street follows precise mathematical proportions, with its length exactly ten times its width, creating a perfect architectural symmetry in the urban landscape.
