The Hermitage continues
The main feature of Palace Square is the Alexander Column, raised in memory of Alexander I by Nicholas I and symbolizing the defeat of Napoleon in 1812. It took three years to be extracted from the quarry on the Karelian Isthmus; polished in 1830, the 48-foot high column was erected in 1834 by 2,5000 men. The face of the angel on top resembles Alexander I.
