About the place

Petrovsky Stadium forms a historic sports complex built for football matches and track athletics.

Czech architect Aloise Wejwoda designed the original stadium at this location before wartime destruction leveled the structures. Architects N.V. Baranov, O.I. Guryev, and V.M. Fromzel led the post-war reconstruction, rebuilding the complex into a major arena. Specialized renovations followed ahead of the Summer Olympics, upgrading the facilities for international athletic competition.
