The small 28-metre long Bankovskiy suspension bridge has spanned the Griboedov Canal since 1826. It is modest in size but very elegant. And you can see it from afar with its 4 mythical golden griffins guarding the passage, which is only pedestrian... It owes its name to the neighbourhood of the former Bank of Assignats, which today houses the students of the Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics. It is particularly beautiful since its complete restoration in 2019.
Lieu emblématique pour se faire prendre en photo avec les "griffons dorés". C'est une des passerelles les plus typiques de Saint Petersbourg et pourtant il y en de nombreuses qui enjambent les différents canaux de cette ville.
