Narva Gates
Lonely Planet review for Narva Gates
Just outside the Narvskaya metro station, the Narva Gates were built between 1827 and 1834 by Vasily Stasov as a tribute to the defeat of Napoleon in 1812. Standing proudly at one of the city’s old gates, this 12-columned monolith is crowned with an angel of victory and decorated with an assembly of valiant warriors.
