Alexander Column is the biggest column in the world and it is located in the center of the Palace Square, in front of Hermitage, in St. Petersburg. Really this column is impressive and the full complex with the Palace Square and the Hermitage at background is incredible: one of the best photos in the city. A top in the city.

An important monument in an historically important part of the city. Both Peter and his horse are poised for action. Design happens to allow for many excellent photo angles. Of course, free to enjoy.
