Moskovsky Prospekt, Main avenue in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Moskovsky Prospekt extends for 10 kilometers from Sennaya Square to Victory Square, connecting central Saint Petersburg with southern regions.
The road originated in the early 1700s as Tsarskoselskaya Doroga, serving as an exclusive route for the imperial family to reach Tsarskoye Selo.
The avenue features the Moscow Triumphal Gate from 1838, which stands as the largest cast-iron structure of its time.
The prospekt provides direct access to Pulkovo International Airport and intersects with major waterways including the Fontanka River and Obvodny Canal.
Marble mileposts from the 1770s remain along the avenue, marking the original distances of the historical route to Moscow.
