In one of the City-Tours i made, i had the opportunity to stop in the Saint Isaac's Square.
The First impression it gave to me, was WOW, The Horseman in the center (Nicholas I), the St Isaac's Cathedral at one side and the Mariinsky Palace in the other, made a phenomenal atmosphere.

The statue of Nicholas I on the Horse its huge and completely amazing, the Square where the monument is, its called The Senate Square. The sculpture was made by Piotr Clodt between 1856-1858, and the architect was Auguste Monferrand.

Around the Square can be found lots of Luxury Hotels and Government buildings
Some of the interesting places you can fin around are:
- The Lobanov-Rostovsky House
- The Blue Bridge
- The Hotel Astoria
- The Hotel Angleterre
- The Russian Institute of Plant Breeding
- The German Embassy
In this square you will get lots of information about Russian History, about the Zars, about Dostoevsky, The Nazi Invasion, Political Issues, The Siege of Leningrad, and the Stalinist Russia.

So its a quite interesting place to visit when you go to Saint Petersbrug, you can enjoy the view, take some interesting Pictures and learn things.
Even if the sky is grey, the Square gives to the City that energy that makes you see that place very, very lovely.
