Pestel Street

Pestel Street in St. Petersburg originates from the embankment of the famous Fontanka River and ends with the historic Transfiguration Square. For two years, from 1923 to 1925, the street was called Decembrist Pestel, and earlier, since 1777, it was called Panteleimonovskaya street. Historically, a significant part of the city has a large number of attractions, interesting for both indigenous people and guests of the northern capital.

Particular attention is paid to the Summer Garden (Mikhailovsky Castle) and Panteleimonov Church, a memorial plaque to the defenders of the Hanko Peninsula and the famous Museum of Defense of Leningrad, the Muruzi House and the Transfiguration Cathedral. On Pestel Street there are apartment houses of O.V. Bremer and A.V. Ratkov-Rozhnov, memorial plaques to V.A. Gavrilin, S.Y. Marshak and V.A. Lyagin are installed.
