In the center of this open space, there is also a towering Alexander Column, which adds luxury to the square. This dark red memorial column was erected to commemorate Alexander I's victory over Napoleon. The monument is 47 meters high and weighs 600 tons, made of a single block of granite. On the base of the memorial column, there are also exquisite carvings for visitors to appreciate. Palace Square is the place where many historical events took place in St. Petersburg. It was from the square that the October Revolution led by Lenin invaded the Winter Palace. In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Palace Square also witnessed the passing of the Olympic flame.
