Walking around St. Petersburg - Monument to Nicholas 1
Description:
While making a sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg, keep in mind that the famous Monument, one of the six equestrian monuments of our city, is under restoration.
Monument to Nicholas 1 will be restored until 2021.
In the meantime, let's look at the high fence.
Experts say that at the base of the sculpture is a through crack.
The bronze on the left leg of the horse, on which the emperor sits, is squeezed from the frame and covered with corrosion. And on the surface of the entire sculpture and the four allegorical sculptures that surround it, a “wild” patina appeared, dangerous to all metal.
The monument is in very bad condition. The marble cladding on which it is written to whom the monument is dedicated is all cracked.”
