🌅 Semimostye (Seven Bridges)

пересечение Крюкова канала и канала Грибоедова

A spot from which seven bridges are visible at once

The Pikalov, Krasnogvardeysky and Staro-Nikolsky bridges at the confluence of the canals form a single architectural ensemble.
The Pikalov Bridge is named after a contractor, and in the 18th century it was also called Pereshivkin, after a neighbouring tavern.
Of the three identical bridges of the 1780s, only the Pikalov Bridge kept an appearance close to the original.
The Staro-Nikolsky Bridge is named after St Nicholas Cathedral, and became ‘old’ in 1849, when the neighbouring bridge was named the Novo-Nikolsky.
