Don’t be fooled, the "urban sculpture" featured here is of the tombstone variety! Since the early 19th Century St. Petersburg’s rich and famous were buried here in style. The larger leafy graveyard boasts such famous residents as Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsokov, whereas the smaller spookier necropolis houses the gothic crypts of military leaders and politicians. The most famous graves are usually marked by fresh flowers.
