Comment
Date of issue: 27 DEC 2010Rostral Columns - the monument to the glory of the Russian Navy - were erected in 1810 under the project of the architect J.F Thomas de Thomon in Saint Petersburg on the split of the Vasilyevsky Island in the front of the Commodity Exchange. Originally they were used as light-houses for vessels floating through the Small and Big Neva. Allegoric figures at the foot of the monument mean great Russian rivers Volga, Dnieper, Neva and Volkhov. In 1957, the ritual of lighting the torches on the Rostral Columns on day of official festive occasions has been renewed.
