This immense building in high neoclassical style was built between 1829 - 1834 for the two most important administrative organs of the Imperial Russian government, the Senate and the Synod. The former was the highest legislative and administrative power, while the later was the highest body in the Russian Orthodox Church. The Senate and Synod are two separate buildings, united by a triumphal arch, which symbolises the unity of church and state.
