Senate Square (Saint Petersburg)

It is situated on the left bank of the Bolshaya Neva, in front of Saint Isaac's Cathedral.

The square is bounded by the Admiralty building to the east.

On the west is the Senate Building[a] and the Senate and Synod Building (now headquarters of the Constitutional Court of Russia).

The Bronze Horseman monument, a statue honoring Peter the Great, has stood in the square since 1782 - whence the official name of "Peter's Square".
