Petrogradskaya (Saint Petersburg Metro)

Petrogradskaya (Петрогра́дская) is a station on the Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro.

The station was opened on July 1, 1963. Its name was derived from its location on Petrogradskaya Storona and within the Petrogradsky district.

The ground vestibule was designed by architects Andreev and Moskalenko and is located in the building of "Dom mod" ("House of Fashions"), at the intersection of Kamennoostrovsky Prospect and Bolshoy Prospect of Petrogradskaya Storona, near Leon Tolstoy Square. There is an underground slope leading to a pedestrian subway, which originally had escalators but were later dismantled.

Petrogradskaya is a deep-level station with platform screen doors. It is located at a depth of 53 metres (174 ft). The underground hall was designed by architects Belov, Govorkovsky, Rivin, Tregubov, and Shimakovsky. Crimped surface of the walls is tiled with ceramics. The rear wall features a panel against a blue grating background, depicting profiles of a worker and akolkhoz woman, symbolizing the revolutionary spirit of Petrograd.

According to the most recent version of the system expansion plan, Petrogratskaya will become a transfer station, connected to the future Koltsevaya Line.

From January 5, 2013, till November 2013, the station was closed for capital repair.
