Description
English: The Ruskeala marble quarries are located near the town Sortavala, Karelian Republic. The deposit was discovered in 1765 and has been in operation since 1769. The quarries, as well as some other marble deposits of Karelia, the Urals, and Italy, supplied various projects in Saint Petersburg, including Saint Isaac's Cathedral, Marble Palace, Saint Michael's Castle, the interiors of the Winter Palace, New Hermitage and Kazan Cathedral, and decorations of Saint Petersburg Metro (namely the Primorskaya and Ladozhskaya stations). A part of the quarries is now abandoned and inundated and serves as a popular tourist attraction.
