General Headquarters
Another great style that St. Petersburg is famous for apart from baroque is classicism which began to develop under the rule of Catherine the Great (1762-1796) and reached its peak in the 19th century in creations of one of the most renowned St.Petersburg architects - Carlo Rossi who built the Senate and Synod buildings, the General Headquarters, the Alexandra Theatre, and many other beautiful classical buildings that give a special touch to our city.
