Spit of Vasilievsky Island - a cape on the eastern end of Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg, washed by Bolshaya Neva and Malaya Neva.
This is one of the most famous architectural ensembles of the city; an example of the harmony of city architecture with the landscape of the banks of the Neva.

The Spit of Vasilievsky Island belongs to the historical part of St. Petersburg and, together with the complex of monuments located here, is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites; this is one of the centers of attraction for tourists. The spit ensemble, formed in the 19th century, occupies a key place in the panorama of St. Petersburg. Numerous architectural monuments and museums are located here: the Stock Exchange building, the Kunstkamera, the Zoological Museum, the Building of the Twelve Collegia, the Building of the Academy of Sciences, Rostral columns. Until 1885, there was a St. Petersburg seaport on Strelka. Built in the 20th century, the five-span Palace and Birzhevoy bridges emphasize the clear symmetry of the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island and its relationship with other parts of the city.
