High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Zimniy Stadion (Russian: Зимний стадион, lit. "Winter Stadium") is an architectural monument of the early 19th century in the historic center of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It received this name in 1949, when an indoor sporting arena opened here. Before that time, the monument was known as Mikhailovsky Manege (Russian: Михайловский манеж). Similar to the neighboring Mikhailovsky Castle and Mikhailovsky Palace, the name "Mikhailovsky" comes from the Archangel Michael, a heavenly patron of the House of Romanov, the ruling dynasty of the Russian Empire in 1613–1917. "Manege" is French for "riding academy", since the area was originally used as a dressage area for horses of the imperial cavalry. The square in which the monument sits is called Manezhnaya Square (Russian: Манежная площадь).
