This bridge across the river Moika began to be called green thanks to its color as early as 1730. It was built for the construction of an important highway - Nevsky Prospect. The car wash was then the boundary of the city and collected travel fees on the bridge. Behind the bridge stands the beautiful pink-and-white palace of the old Russian family of the Stroganovs. This is the most ancient creation of Rastrelli, preserved without any special changes to the present day.
