Lines of Vasilyevsky Island (Rus. plural ''linii'' ''линии'', singular ''liniya'' (also linia) ''линия'' "a line") is a group of streets in a part (called Vasilyevsky Island) of downtown Saint Petersburg, Russia, and their mostly numeric names atypical for the rest of the modern Saint Petersburg. ==History== After capturing Ingria, the territory of the future Saint Petersburg, from Sweden in Great Northern War, Peter the Great of Russia planned the future city with a number of courtiers and experts, most notably the architect Domenico Trezzini. Vasilyevsky Island was to be an administrative center of the city and the Russian Empire with its projected governmental departments (colleges) building the (Twelve Collegia). Planned in the manner of Peter's favourite European maritime cities, Amsterdam and Venice, the island was to have its own rectangular grid of canals which later turned into straight streets (with ''lines'' of houses on their sides), as the canals were filled back in because of water stagnation in them. Lines are crossed by three parallel avenues (''prospekts''), roughly, from east to west. Each side (embankment) of each canal got a name of its own, mostly in the digital form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lines of Vasilyevsky Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
