"Egyptian Petersburg"

Let's bet you'll never see so many images of sphinxes and pharaohs in one day again! There are a lot of them in our city! Egyptomania - interest in everything Egyptian, swept St. Petersburg under Peter, and with a new force fell on the city in the XIX century after Napoleon's campaigns in Egypt. That is why on the University Embankment we will meet real sphinxes, which are more than three thousand years old. Also in the program is the Egyptian Bridge, the Egyptian House on Zakharievskaya Street, the Egyptian style in the architecture of St. Petersburg facades and even modern references to the banks of the Nile.
