John's Lane

Ioannovsky lane is located in the Petrogradsky district of St. Petersburg. It runs from the embankment of the Karpovka River to Professor Popov Street. Until 1996, this area of the city was part of Vyazemsky Lane. The lane received its modern name by the name of the nearby St. John Stavropegial convent. In fact, the real Ioannovsky lane was in the XVIII century somewhat to the west along the monastery fence. But the historical name was returned to this street. Near Ioannovsky lane is Karpovsky bridge.
