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.[1] In 1762–1769 the general plan of city development was developed by the State Special Committee, headed by Aleksei Kvasov.[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.[6][7] It has a status of cultural heritage object.[8][9] Total length of the left side embankment is 6.4 km, right - 5.7 km. Numerous palaces and historical sites are located on this street.[10]
