The Admiralty was one of the first structures to be built in St Petersburg. It was designed to be a dockyard, where some of the first ships of Russia's Baltic fleet were built, and also fortified to be an extra defense for the newly obtained Neva delta. Today's Admiralty was built in 1806-23 by Adrian Zakharov. He maintained the original plan of the building, but turned it into a marvelous example of the Russian Empire style, with rows of white columns, plentiful reliefs and statues. The gilded spire of the Admiralty (and particularly its weather-vane korablik - "little ship") is a famous St. Petersburg landmark.
海军部大楼是圣彼得堡一流建筑之一。它曾经作为俄罗斯波罗地海舰队的船坞被设计，同时也是占据涅瓦河三角洲的一个重要堡垒。今天的海军部大楼是由亚丁 萨哈洛夫建造的，他保留了该建筑的原有计划，但是同时引入了成排的白色立柱和大量的浮雕和雕塑元素，使其成为俄罗斯风格建筑的一个典型特例。海军部大楼镀金的尖顶，尤其是上面加有的小舰船雕牌，成为了圣彼得堡的一个著名地标
