        • The name stands for “era of art” — “Era” plus “Art”.
        • The building dates from 1951 in the Stalinist neoclassical style; in Soviet times it housed a district party committee, then a synthetic rubber institute.
        • The entrance is guarded by the sculptures of Era and Art by Dmitry Zhukov, made on the museum's commission.

        • The stone cathedral was founded in 1764 and consecrated in 1780; its design is attributed to the architect A. F. Vist.
        • The cathedral was the chapter church of the Order of St Andrew the First-Called.
        • Inside survives a carved, gilded three-tier 18th-century iconostasis, 17 m high.
        • The neighbouring Andreevsky Market is named after the cathedral.
        • Back in 1724 Peter commissioned the Swede Tessin to design a St Andrew's church on the Spit “like St Paul's Cathedral in London”, but did not live to see it built.
        • The clock on the bell tower, made in Kronstadt, was installed in 1894.

      ↩️ Getting back: From the cathedral 5 minutes to Vasileostrovskaya metro. After midnight the metro entrance may already be closed — then take a taxi.
