S'ymbols of St. Petersburg are as versatile and multlfaceted as the city itself. They range from the Admiralty ship which celebrates the glory of the port city to the angel crowning the spire of the bell-tower of Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral which personifies the soaring spirit of St. Petersburg and to the mighty warrior on a fiery steed who galloped onto the top of a rock in August 1782 and froze there for centuries to come - the "Bronze Horseman". All of them are visible images reflecting over 300 years of history of the Northern capital. How-ever, the city has an official symbol as well - the coat-of-arms.
