One of the most beautiful and harmonious ensembles of architecture in the world, Palace Square remains the main public space of St. Petersburg after nearly three centuries. Like Red Square in Moscow, Palace Square in St. Petersburg has been the setting of many major events in Russian history. The Alexander Column, the focal point of Palace Square, is 155 feet 8 inches tall and is topped with a statue of an angel holding a cross.
