We want to share with you only a brief insight into the story, revealing our emotions, and you come to visit, admire, learn, ask, admire, fall in love and stay forever
So let's go! Rostral columns on the Spit of the Vaislievsky Island, erected in 1810 according to the design of the French architect Tom de Thomon, who adorned them with the roosts of ships. This is the personification of the power and majesty of the state’s navy, as well as a reference to the ancient Roman custom of decorating columns with rostra (from the Latin rostrum, ship's nose) of defeated (trophy) enemy ships. to the ships.
On warm days in the evenings at the columns you can hear music, under which guests and residents of the capital dance in endless dances. And on especially solemn days, the columns again turn into beacons and shine for all of us, travelers who are tired in the bustle of days, reminding that there is definitely happiness .... and it is here in St. Petersburg.
