Ioannovsky Bridge is famous for being the first bridge in St. Petersburg, its history began simultaneously with the history of the city. It connects to the Petrograd side and Zayachy Island, on which the Peter and Paul Fortress is located.

Ioannovsky Bridge is one of two bridges, passing through which you can get to Zayachy Island and the Peter and Paul Fortress (the second bridge is Kronverksky).

Ioannovsky Bridge is also interesting because next to it, on a wooden pile, there is another attraction of St. Petersburg - a happy hare. Guests of the city, having made a wish, try to throw a coin on a small platform at his feet. Whoever succeeds will be lucky, and the conceived desire will certainly come true.

St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 and the Peter and Paul Fortress became the first building of the new city. It was at this time that the first bridge was built, connecting Zayachy Island and Gorodovoy (now Petrogradsky) Island. The bridge was called Petrov, it was a wooden floating crossing, located on wooden barges. (Bark is a river non-self-propelled cargo ship towed by human or horse traction). Moreover, for the winter the crossing was removed and crossed over the ice.

In 1706, the floating bridge was rebuilt into a drawbridge, it was located a little upstream of the Kronverk Strait, consisted of two wooden drawbridges and rested on wooden piles.

By the end of the 1730s, the Ioannovsky ravelin was built. At this time, the bridge was rebuilt in stone, it became 16 spans and was now oriented towards the built Ioannovsky Gate. On both banks, dams were built in the form of stone arches, between which there was a wooden part on piles. The bridge was raised manually for a long time and therefore the mobile structures were left light - wooden.

After the reconstruction of the bridge in 1887, the bridge was given the name "Ioannovsky".

Previously, Ioannovsky was the name of the bridge thrown over the moat between the Ioannovsky ravelin and the bastions of the Peter and Paul Fortress. During the construction work, this ditch was filled up, and the name "Ioannovsky" was transferred to the Petrovsky Bridge, which runs from the Ioannovsky Gate to Troitskaya Square.

The bridge is named after the elder brother of Peter the Great Ivan Alekseevich.

The most extensive reconstruction was carried out in the early 1950s. Ioannovsky bridge was decorated with beautiful lanterns and the fence was updated. The cast-iron lattice is decorated with intricate floral ornaments, images of double-headed eagles, as well as geometric figures - rhombuses, ovals and circles.

Also, the Ioannovsky Bridge was updated for the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. During the repair, the most modern means and methods were used to protect bridge structures from the negative effects of water. In addition, the restorers repaired the plafonds and restored the lace of cast-iron gratings, and the figures of eagles were recreated on the lanterns. Pay special attention to the pedestals in the form of obelisks, decorated with helmets, spears and double-headed eagles.
