This building is situated in the south-western corner of St
Isaac’s Square.
It looks like an ancient temple.

3.

The Manage was built after the design of Giacomo Quarenghi
between 1804 and 1807 for the famous Horse Guard Regiment.

4.

The Manege was built in the classical style.
Over the entrance there is a bas-relief.
The scenes of riding competitions in the ancient
circus are depicted there.

5.

Wide stairs lead to the main entrance. They are
graced with two marble sculptures of Dioscuri.

6.

The statues were made in the workshop of Paolo Triscorni
between 1810 and 1811.
They are miniature marble copies of
the ancient statues of the Quirinal
Palace in Rome. The Quirinal Palace
was the residence of the Italian kings
from 1870 to 1946.

7.

The Dioscuri are the heroes of ancient mythology twin
brothers Pollux and Castor.
They were so alike that they
couldn’t be distinguished
from one another. However,
Castor was mortal while
Pollux inherited immortality
from his father. Both of them
were excellent horsemen
and brave warriors. They
loved each other and were
inseparable. When Castor
was killed in a battle Pollux
felt so lonely, that he begged
Zeus to allow him to die.
Zeus permitted
Pollux to
share his immortality with
his twin brother.

8.

Zeus, Hera, and Amor observe
the birth of Helen and the
Dioscuri
According
to
the
mythology
Zeus
sometimes
descended
from Olympus to enter
into nuptial relations
with women who didn’t
belong to the realm of
the gods. As a result of
one such visit the twins
Castor and Pollux were
born to Zeus and the
wife of the Spartan
King, Tyndareus.

Close to the Manege at the beginning of a boulevard
there are two columns crowned with figures of Glory.

They were placed here
between
1845
and
1846. These statues
were cast in Berlin from
a model by the sculptor
Christian Daniel Rauch
and presented by the
Prussian
King
to
Nicholas I.

11.

The sculptures of the goddesses of
Glory hold laurel wreaths.
The columns are made of
polished granite from the
town of Serdobol. These
columns
commemorate
the feats of the Horse
Guards
Regiment
in
battle during the war
against Napoleon.

Nowadays, the Manege building houses
the exhibition hall of the Union of Artists.
