The rest of the architectural complex is made up of five buildings, including the Menshikov Palace, the General Staff Building and an open storage facility.

The Bronze Horseman (in Russian, Медный всадник, literally "Copper Knight") is an equestrian sculpture of Peter the Great, made in bronze by Étienne-Maurice Falconet in St. Petersburg, Russia. It receives this name due to the influence of the homonymous poem by Aleksandr Pushkin, one of the greatest poems of the Russian language. It is now a symbol of St. Petersburg, as the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of New York.
The block on which the statue stands is known as Thunder Stone, and it is said to be the largest rock that man has moved. In fact, the rock is not only huge, but it was transported six kilometers to the coast of the Gulf of Finland only by force of man, without animals or machines.
It still stands on the shore of the Neva. The effect caused by the statue is as original as it is great: the sculpture does not rest on an architectural pedestal, but the horse rears up on the granite rock; the Tsar lacks a sword; his haughty figure, who seems to designate the new capital by hand and mark a path to his people, does not evoke the warrior, but the legislator and the civilizer.

The opposite side of the square, the south side, was designed in an arc shape by the architect George von Velten in the 18th century. However, von Velten's plans were put into practice half a century later, when Alexander I of Russia imagined the square as a huge monument to the Russian victory against Napoleon Bonaparte and commissioned Carlo Rossi (in: Carlo Rossi (architect) ) to design the General Staff Building (1819-29). This arch-shaped and Empire-style construction features a double triumphal arch topped with a Roman quadriga in the center.
The middle of the square is indicated by the Alexander Column (1830-34), designed by Auguste de Montferrand. This column of red granite (the highest of its kind in the world) is 47.5 meters high and weighs around 600 tons. It is so well established that it does not need to be attached to its base.
The eastern part of the square is occupied by the Guard Corps Barracks (1837-43), created by Aleksandr Briulov. However, the western side opens towards the Admiralty Square, which makes the Palace Square a vital part of the great set of squares in St. Petersburg.
