You can get a breathtaking view of Palace Square from
the roof of the Winter Palace. The huge arc of the General Staff building
skirts the square on the opposite side and the Chariot of Glory on
top of the Triumphal Arch seems to be dashing right towards you. In
the centre of the square, like a lighthouse in the open sea, towers
the Alexander Áolumn. Behind it, among the densely arranged buildings,
are glittering in the sun the gilded cupolas of the Cathedral of the
Resurrection on the Spilt Blood, the greenish copper dome of the Kazan
Cathedral and the huge dome of St. Isaac's. |
