Pochtamtsky Bridge, Suspension footbridge in Admiralteysky District, Russia
The Pochtamtsky Bridge extends 41.9 meters across the Moika River, featuring four granite obelisks topped with gilded spheres at each corner.
Built in 1824 as a chain bridge, the structure underwent major renovations in 1936 and 1983 to maintain its suspension design and structural integrity.
The bridge stands near Saint Petersburg's Central Post Office, integrating cast iron decorative elements that reflect 19th-century Russian architectural styles.
Pedestrians can access the bridge from both sides of the Moika River, connecting the area around the Central Post Office with neighboring streets.
This crossing represents one of only three remaining chain-suspended bridges in Saint Petersburg, alongside Lions Bridge and Bank Bridge.
