Komendantskaya Square

Komendantskaya Square in Saint Petersburg got its name from Komendantsky Avenue, which since 1987 has borne the name of the former dacha of the commandant of the Peter and Paul Fortress. On the square and nearby are 25-story residential buildings numbered 13 and 17, of a pale sand color, connected by high 15-story arches and adorned with three rows of balconies on the upper floors. Nearby are the 2008-built shopping and entertainment complex "Atmosfera" and the "Miller Center," whose buildings are connected by a 40-meter gallery. The residential complex "Primorskaya Simfoniya" at the intersection of the avenues was built according to the design of architect V. A. Kashin.
