Aleksandrinsky Theatre (where I saw Swan Lake Ballet) and Pl Ostrovskogo (park).
Statue of Catherine the Great in Pl Ostrovskogo (park) on Nevsky Prospekt (St Petersburg's main avenue). The statue was unveiled in 1873. AT the base of the statue, Catherine the Great is surrounded by smaller statues of the most prominent people of her reign; politicians and poets, military men and courtiers.
