Stone Bridge, Federal cultural heritage bridge in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Stone Bridge extends 197 meters across the Griboyedov Canal, featuring granite blocks and pyramid-shaped decorations on its facade.
Built between 1774 and 1778 under engineer V.I. Nazimov's design, this structure replaced a wooden bridge that had existed since 1752.
The bridge forms part of Saint Petersburg's network of 300 bridges, connecting Kazansky and Spassky islands along the Gorokhovaya Street axis.
The Stone Bridge maintains its original 18th-century form and continues to serve as a vital crossing point for pedestrians and vehicles.
In 1880, members of Narodnaya Volya placed 115 kilograms of dynamite under the bridge, planning to target Emperor Alexander II.
