Saint Petersburg/Petrograd Side

The Petrograd Side is a borough in Saint Petersburg consisting of the islands of the northern part of the Neva delta. Mostly residential, it is also home to several smaller universities, stadiums of FC Zenit and the tallest structure of the city, a 326-m-high TV tower. It includes the Peter and Paul Fortress and the site where Saint Petersburg was founded. In the beginning the city grew around Troitskaya Square, but within a few decades the city center shifted to the opposite bank of the Neva, and until the 1890s this borough, dominated by the fortifications of the Peter and Paul Fortress, remained peripheral. In the late 19th and early 20th century it was quickly built over, centring along Bolshoy Prospekt and Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt. The architecture of that period has remained mostly intact. The islands in the northwestern part of the borough, across the Malaya Nevka, have been a recreational area covered mostly by parks, mansions and sports facilities.
