Ligovsky Prospekt (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) is a street in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. It begins at a T-crossing with Nekrasova Street, runs southwest, crosses Nevsky Prospect next to Moskovsky Railway Station, and ends at the Moscow Triumphal Gate as a T-crossing with Moskovsky Avenue. The name of the street originates from the Liga River, currently the Dudergofka.[1]
Between 1718-25, when Saint Petersburg was the capital of Russia, construction began on the Ligovsky Canal under the direction of Grigory Grigorevich to provide water to the fountains in the Summer Garden.[1]
The road is near the site of the old Novgorod road. The road was called Moskovskaya since 1739, then Naberezhnoy Ligovskogo kanala. In 1892 the street became Ligovskaya Street, and between 1952 and 1956 it was called Stalingradsky Avenue. Since 1956 it has been named of its current name.
