      🌳 Academic Garden (Academy of Arts Garden)

      Университетская наб., 17 (сад за главным зданием Академии, между 3-й и 4-й линиями)

      An intimate 18th-century garden behind the Academy of Arts: flat paths, benches, students with easels and almost no traffic noise.

      • The garden's layout and its fence were designed in 1844 by the architect A. P. Bryullov.
      • In the centre of the garden stands a pink granite column — a spare shaft prepared for the colonnade of Kazan Cathedral.
      • The column was set up in 1807, on Count Stroganov's suggestion, in the inner courtyard for the Academy's 50th anniversary, and moved to the garden in 1847.
      • The column's capital is bronze and topped with a lyre.
      • The first building in the garden was the Academy's "foundry house", designed by A. D. Zakharov, 1805.
