The ADMIRALTY (Russian: Адмиралтейство, pronounced “Admiralteystvo”) is one of the earliest constructed buildings in St Petersburg. Originally, it was used as a shipbuilding workshop. The Admiralty of the present was built from 1806-23 by Adrian Zakharov. Once being the country’s Naval Headquarters, it now represents a naval college. The Alexandrovsky garden (Russian: Александровский сад, pronounced: Alexandrovky sad) was laid out near the Admiralty in 1874.
