Quay of the Winter Canal.
It was dug in 1719 already. Connects the Great Neva and the Moika. The arch, thrown through a groove, supports the transition gallery between the Hermitage and the Hermitage Theater. And, according to rumors, its strength, after construction, was checked by a grand party with many guests. How do you find this way of testing building structures?
Набережная Зимней Канавки. Прорыта аж в 1719 году. Соединяет Большую Неву и Мойку. Арка, перекинутая через канавку, поддерживает переход-галерею между Эрмитажем и Эрмитажным театром. И, по слухам, прочность ее, после постройки, проверяли грандиозной вечеринкой со множеством гостей. Как Вам такой способ тестирования строительных сооружений?

Winter Canal/Зимняя канавка. I find it strangely satysfying!
