Live webcam overlooking the intersection of Lenin and Grazhdanskaya streets in Krasnoye Selo.
The lens covers a wide roadway and adjoining roadsides with green spaces, gutters. The situation on the road and weather conditions can be monitored online from anywhere in the country and the world.
Krasnoye Selo, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, has its own unique atmosphere.
Here you can find many interesting monuments of architecture, culture and history. After all, almost the entire territory of this St. Petersburg suburb is included in the list of UNESCO cultural heritage sites.
The most important sights of Krasnoye Selo are only four. The first of them is the Grand Duke's Palace of Mikhail Pavlovich. The mansion is an all-wood, two-story structure, painted dark green with white moldings framing the windows and white Ionic columns supporting a canopy over the main entrance.
The second attraction of Krasnoye Selo is the Trinity Cathedral.
It is made in a magnificent baroque style, with a massive dome, a bell tower topped with a spire, as well as many stone decorative elements.
The fate of the temple in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity in Krasnoye Selo includes both good and tragic events. The construction was erected in 1735 under Empress Anna Ioannovna. And for a long time it was a temple for the military and the first persons of the state. In the 20th century, the cathedral suffered the tragic fate of many religious objects of that time. The rector of the cathedral was shot, and the temple was closed.
The Great Patriotic War brought even more trials. Although divine services were briefly restored in the temple, during the retreat of the German invaders, the building was badly damaged. After the war, the shrine was restored. But until the collapse of the USSR, it served as the House of Culture. In 1994, a large-scale reconstruction of the building began. And today this place serves as the center of the military deanery.
The third of the most famous sights of Krasnoye Selo, the Victory Arch, also has a unique appearance.
She appeared at the entrance to St. Petersburg already in our century. But, nevertheless, it rightly deserves attention. Its height reaches 17 meters. On the sides, on monolithic columns, there are bronze statues of women holding golden laurel branches in their hands - a symbol of victory. And the top is crowned with a sculptural composition of banners with a red star on a shield in the center.
A capsule with a message to descendants is embedded in the base of the monument, which can be read on the 100th anniversary of the Victory.
It is definitely worth visiting the fourth among the main attractions of the town. This is the Museum "Bridges", dedicated to domestic bridge building. Several expositions, located in spacious halls, represent reduced volume copies of the real bridges of the country, as well as those samples that were built in different historical times. In addition to 3D models, the museum presents documents, drawings and photographs.
