Located opposite the Hermitage on the other side of the Neva. One of the most beautiful views of the city! Discover two rostrales columns of red colour, symbolizing the glory of the Russian navy, and statues representing the four Russian rivers: La, Neva, Volga and Dnieper. The columns, conçes by Thomas de Thomon to serve as a lighthouse for vessels entering the port and haites of 32 metres, are decorated with proues of metal vessels (called "rostra" in the Romans).

Les 2 colonnes rouges sont le symbole des victoires navales. Visibles depuis la Perspective Nevski, elles offrent aussi une très belle vue d'ensemble sur l'Ermitage.

Après avoir visité le quartier de l'amirauté, on arrive sur la pointe qui se distingue par ses deux grandes colonnes rouges. C'est l'occasion d'admirer la vue sur la ville et de voir l'ermitage surplombant la neva. On peut par la suite emprunter le quai des anglais et se diriger vers le pont aux lions.
