\n \n SENATE AND SYNOD BUILDINGS (1 and 3 Decabristov Square), architectural monuments of the late Neoclassical. This ground on the embankment of the Neva River was owned by A.D. Menshikov from the early 18th century, then by A.I. Osterman from 1744 - by A. P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin, whose house in 1763 was adjusted by architect A.F. Wist to accommodate the Senate. In 1780-90, the building was reconstructed (architect thought to be I. E. Starov). In 1829-36, the total reconstruction of the old Senate building and neighbouring house of Kusovnikova was executed following architectural plans drawn up by architect K.I. Rossi (work was carried out under the guidance of architect A. E. Shtaubert), after that the buildings were occupied by the Governmental Senate (building No.1) and Holy Synod (building No.3). Two architecturally identical buildings, whose facades are marked with eight Corinthian columned porticoes, loggias, granite staircases and ramps, are united with a rich plastered triumphal arch, spanning Galernaya Street. The decor of the facade of the double-lighted Senate Church of St. Alexander Nevsky (1832-1834, architect Shtaubert), located at the corner of Decabristov Square and Angliiskaya Embankment, strikes - the round corner of the building is elaborated with a colonnade. Sculptors N.S. and S.S. Pimenov, V.I. Demut-Malinovsky, P.P. Sokolov, N.A. Tokarev, I. Leppe, N.A. Ustinov, P.V. Svintsov took part in the creation of the sculptural decor; painters B. Medici, F. Richter, A.I. Solovyev, V.G. Shiryaev and others executed the interior decoration. The Russian State Historical Archives (RGIA) based on the Senate and Synod archives is located in the building.
