The smartest address in St. Petersburg, Millionaya Street runs between the Summer Garden and Palace Square, with several grand historic residences. The street originated in the earliest years of St. Petersburg and was a settlement for wealthy foreigners, mostly Germans and Greeks.
From the 1720s, the street was built up with the stone houses belonging to Court aristocrats who wanted to live closer to the imperial residence - the Winter Palace. From that time, the street was known as Dvoryanskaya (Noble) and Millionnaya - the latter still used to this day...
