Saint Petersburg
@saintpetersburg
Saint Petersburg is located practically at the intersection of 60 degrees east longitude and 30 degrees north latitude. The main observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Pulkovo Observatory, is located in the suburb of Saint Petersburg. The meridian passing through the observatory is called Pulkovo and for a long time served as the "prime meridian" in the Russian Empire, instead of Greenwich.
