English Embankment

The English Embankment in Saint Petersburg received its historical name on September 8, 1994, in connection with the visit of Queen Elizabeth II of England. At the former mansion of P. G. Derviz, number 28, there is Marriage Palace No. 1, and in the building of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs (house 32) served Fonvizin, Griboyedov, Tyutchev, as well as Pushkin and Kyuchelbecker. The Anglican Church of Jesus Christ at house 56 was rebuilt by Giacomo Quarenghi from the mansion of P. B. Sheremetev in 1814–1815, and a granite stele was installed at house 44 in memory of the cruiser Aurora's anchorage on the night of October 25, 1917.
