Introduction to the Naval Headquarters: The naval headquarters building in St. Petersburg was laid in 1704. From 1806 to 1819, it was designed and built by the architect Zakharov. The front width of the tower is more than 400 meters. The base of the tower is an arched six-door designed to resemble a triumphal arch. The door is decorated with various statues and semi-reliefs with maritime and Russian naval themes. On both sides of the main entrance are two huge groups of statues named Poseidon, sculpted using designs designed by Cherebinev and Shchedrin. The entire naval headquarters, with its rigorous and concise design style and the group of statues with clear and grand themes, symbolizes the heroic spirit of Russian sailors. The most eye-catching feature of the building is a long, gleaming gold-plated needle that reaches a height of 72 meters. It is placed on the roof of the stepped tower in the center of the building. The long needle reaches straight into the blue sky and can be seen from anywhere in St. Petersburg. The entire building combines the characteristics of classical architectural art and Russian architectural art. 56 large statues, 11 giant reliefs, and 350 murals decorate the entire building.
