Zimniy Stadion, Exhibition hall in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Zimniy Stadion stands as a symmetrical structure with classical proportions, featuring grand interior spaces that showcase early 19th-century architectural elements.
Architect Vincenzo Brenna completed this building in 1800, during a period when Saint Petersburg was establishing itself as Russia's cultural capital.
The building changed its function from an imperial cavalry riding academy to an indoor sports arena in 1949, marking shifts in Russian society.
Located near multiple cultural landmarks in central Saint Petersburg, the stadium maintains its role as a venue for sports competitions and exhibitions.
The structure originated as an elephant house in the 1730s when Persian shah Nader gifted exotic animals to Russian empress Anna.
