The Fontanka Embankment (Russian: Набережная реки Фонтанки) is a street in Saint Petersburg that follows the course of the Fontanka from its origin as it diverges from the Neva River up to its confluence with the Great Neva.

[2] Following this plan, in the 1780s the shores were embanked in granite by architect Giacomo Quarenghi.

[3][4] The Fontanka Embankment was used as a border of Saint Petersburg central part.

[5] Nowadays the embankment serves as a motorway, it was reconstructed in the early 1990s, then in 2016–2019.

Numerous palaces and historical sites are located on this street.
