Nevsky Prospekt from Vosstaniya Square to Alexander Nevsky Square (Staro-Nevsky Prospekt)
This segment of Nevsky Prospekt is 1.5 kilometers.
Why Staro-Nevsky Prospekt?!
Initially, the suburb of St. Petersburg began behind the Fontanka River, where the first and largest monastery of the city - today the Alexander Nevsky Lavra-was located among the forest and a few buildings. From the monastery to the city center there was a road called "Perspektivnaya Road to the Nevsky Monastery", which was mainly used by the monks.
When the city grew, and the avenue began to turn into a "Front Street", then at first they improved the appearance of the street from Fontanka to the city center.
In the 1730s, to straighten the avenue, it was built along modern Goncharnaya and Bogie Streets, and the original section of the road was named "Staraya Nevskaya Perspektivnaya Street" or "Staro-Nevsky". However, this failed, and the avenue was returned to its original location. However, the name of the part of the avenue in everyday life was fixed-Staro-Nevsky Prospekt. And on the site of the former New Perspektivnaya Street, Goncharnaya and Bogie Streets subsequently appeared, which still exist today.
"Staro-Nevsky Prospekt" today
Behind Vosstaniya Square, along Nevsky Prospekt, buildings stretch in dense rows, some of which are particularly "bright".
This part of Nevsky Prospekt is less lively and attractive than the part of the avenue from the beginning to the Vosstaniya Square.
The historic, now restored buildings contain shops and salons, cafes, bars and restaurants, residential and office premises, as well as accommodation facilities (hotels, apartments)
