С68 is a viewing location at Palace Square in Saint Petersburg, offering direct sight lines to the Alexander Column and the Winter Palace. The spot sits within a vast open area framed by grand buildings, providing clear views of the major landmarks.
The square emerged in the 18th century as a central space for the city and became the stage for key moments in Russian history. From military parades to public gatherings, this location marked events that shaped the nation.
The square's architecture blends Baroque and Neoclassical styles, shaping how locals and visitors understand the city's visual identity. People gather here naturally, drawn to the buildings that have marked the skyline for centuries.
