Petrohrad - the remake
This entry is about the capital of the Illyrian Empire: Petrohrad. Some of you might remember an entire CJ called that way...
. This will be just one entry about this city in the current CJ: but this time a complete remake of the city centre. And no history, just some pics with a little text. Enjoy!
Traditionally, we'll start our tour at the Main Square with the Cathedral, City hall and the Archbishop's Palace. Top right is Petrohrad's smallest church.
To the west of the Main Square are many small streets lined with many old houses. On top the oldest surviving church in Petrohrad, dedicated to Our Lady of Petrohrad, from the XIth century.
A district to the east of the cathedral. 
The north-western part of the city centre. On top part of the Imperial Boulevard, which encircles the city centre and which was built during the XIXth century on the site of the former city walls.
Western part of the city centre and, located along the Imperial Boulevard, the Imperial and Archducal palaces (green roofed buildings), Imperial Theatre, Parliament Building (with its golden dome) and several museums.
South-eastern part of the city centre with the New Cathedral and the Admiralty Building (large blue and white building) along the Imperial Boulevard. Top right Petrohrad's main Post office.
The Imperial Gardens, located behind the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately, at the start of the XXth century a road was constructed running right through the gardens. On top Petrohrad's main railway station.
Northern part of the city centre. On top several buildings which are part of the Petrohrad University. The large domed building is the main building. Also visible are the last remaining parts of the medieval city walls from the XIIIth century.
The western part of the Imperial Boulevard again.
The city centre's oldest parts.
Finally, two overviews. Btw, the large yellow building is the Imperial Museum. Hope to see you back next time!
