Hole Monument

One of the strangest monuments of our city (and, perhaps, the strangest) is a monument to a hole. Yes, you heard right, it was a hole. In 1996, another project was released to improve the city, in particular, its pedestrian zones. Two architects Dukhovny and Chernov, together with the sculptor Ivanov, drew up a project and began to implement the monument. It was planned that the statue would look like this: an elegant tree branch made of bronze breaks through a stone block. The authors wanted to show what the desire to live is capable of. But, for unknown reasons, they did not complete the work. As a result, we see a block of stone with a hole through which a human hand is pushed through. Petersburgers simply could not ignore this block, and it quickly got its name - the Monument to the Hole. It's no joke, but both tourists and residents of the city fell in love with this monument. He was even endowed with magical properties - the legend says that if you stick your hand into the notorious hole and make a wish, then it will surely come true soon.

This “miracle of architectural thought” lives in a small square of house 3 on Mayakovsky Street.

Petersburgers are so extraordinary that they sculpted as many as three monuments to Major Kovalev's Gogol Nose. It just so happened that the first stone nose, like its prototype, AWOL left its place, and a year later was found. During this time, the inhabitants created a new nose to replace the lost one. But, comrade monument worked up and returned. So there were two monuments and both are fixed on the tablets. Later, a sculpture in honor of famous organ smell.
