Nevsky fence
Detailed description
The construction of the fence was started in 1770 by decree of Catherine II and was completed only in 1777. The authorship of this fence still causes heated debate in scientific circles. Work on the manufacture of a lattice with three gates began in the spring of 1771. The fence was mounted on 36 granite pillars made of Karelian granite. Granite vases and urns were placed along the fence.
