Around Liteyny Prospekt
Ss Simeon and Anna's Church
Ss Simeon and Anna's Church which is located on the corner of Ulitsa Belinskogo and Ulitsa Mokhovaya, just off Liteyny Prospekt, is one of the oldest surviving churches in St Petersburg. It was built between 1731 and 1734 in the architecture style known as Petrine baroque. Before this a wooden church stood here. In 1938 the church was closed and later it was used to hold a meteorology museum. It was returned to the Orthodox Church in 1991 and re-consecrated in 1995.
