Fragment of the rostral column of the Trinity Bridge. St. Petersburg.

Troitsky Bridge is the second longest drawbridge of St. Petersburg. His openwork spans connect the Trinity Square and the Field of Mars, acting as the border between the central areas of the city and the Petrograd side. The crossing in this place has been known for a long time - the Pulkovo meridian passes along its axis, which was actively used by Russian cartographers before going to Greenwich in the 20th century.
