In the area of the former "Crosses" in St. Petersburg, the first buildings began to be demolished.
The first to be dismantled was the building under the letter I, where the prisoners used to be prepared for transportation to the stage. They plan to open hotels, restaurants and a fitness club on the site of the former detention center. At the same time, 15 historical buildings will be preserved and restored, including the famous cruciform buildings.
The owners of the site assured that nothing threatens the monuments: to protect the buildings from the work of heavy equipment, they prepared a special project in advance.
