In this building important historical events took place, and great people left their marks here. Today the Smolny Institute is a museum and exhibition hall.

The Smolny building was constructed in 1806–1808 to a design by the Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi in the style of austere Russian classicism. In those years a privileged educational institution for girls was opened here – the Imperial Educational Society for Noble Maidens (Smolny Institute).
