The symbolism of St. Petersburg is many faces, like the many faces and the city itself. Therefore, among its symbols there is the Admiralty boat - the embodiment of the glory of the port city, and the angel on the spire of the Peter and Paul Bell Tower - the soaring spirit of St. Petersburg, and the mighty warrior on a swift horse, who soared to the top of the rock in August 1782 and froze there for centuries - "The Bronze Horseman."
