Swan Canal, Upper Swan Bridge, Lower Swan Bridge[edit]

Upper Swan Bridge
Upper Swan Bridge
  • ... that the Swan Canal, one of the oldest canals in Saint Petersburg, is crossed by the Upper and Lower Swan Bridges, the former (pictured) being one of the oldest stone bridges in the city? Source: "It is one of the oldest canals in Russia ... It also boasts one of the oldest stone bridges in the city" ([1])

  • I had some concerns about the RS of the source, however, a cursory search on Google News indicates it's been referenced by Smithsonian Magazine, the Irish Times, and other RS, so I don't think we're in a position to question its veracity. The image is correctly labeled as "own work." QPQ done. Hook is interesting and of appropriate length. All three articles are new enough, long enough, and NPOV. No obvious copyvio. Looks good.
