(4) At the crossing of Nevsky Prospect and the Fontanka River you can see one of
the world famous bridges. This is Anichkov Bridge. Following a decree of Peter the Great,
a wooden bridge about 6m wide was erected in 1715 by an Admiralty engineers battalion
commanded by M. Anichkov. It gave place to a stone structure with four towers on the
comers in 1841. It has stood to these days and is as wide as Nevsky Prospect. The arch
granite spans look graceful with its four sculptures of tamed horses by Peter Klodt.
