Vladimir Square

Vladimir Square is one of the central squares of the city of St. Petersburg. The square received its name from the church of the Vladimir Virgin located here, which was built in 1761-1769. A little later a bell tower was built here. The church is still alive, it is still active. The Church of the Vladimir Mother of God is a remarkable architectural monument of the Baroque style. In the first half of the XVIII century, the area of this square was adjacent to the settlement inhabited by court servants.

From October 6, 1923 to July 10, 1950, the square was named Nahimson. Named after S.M. Nahimson. Later in 1950, the square returned to its old name.
