Tour to Peterhof 85 per person
Date: 23.06.2007 Time: 10:00 Duration: 8 hours The price includes: transportation, English speaking guide

Peterhof is one of the oldest summer residences in the vicinity of St.Petersburg. Peterhof means "Peter 's Court". It was founded in 1710, when the Peter and Paul Fortress lost its military significance, and Peter the Great started to build another fortress on Kotlin Island to protect St.Petersburg from the city. The fountains are connected by means of a water-main with springs welling out in the Ropshinsky Heights. It was also the time when the park later named as Lower was established there. In the middle of the XVIII century the palace was augmented upon the project of the architect Rastrelli. Located on the steep slope in front of the palace the Grand Cascade of fountains embellished with bronze sculptures and bas-reliefs dedicated to Russia's victories in the Northern war. It consists of 64 fountains. In the center of the cascade there is the famous sculptural group "Samson tearing the lion's jaws", symbolizing the victory of Russia over Sweden. At the base of the cascade there are the fountains "Volkhov" and "Neva". In the lower park the Marli Palace, the Hermitage and the Monplaisir Palace were constructed. The Monplaisir became the first picture gallery in Russia which contained a large collection of paintings of Dutch and Flemish masters. In front of the palace are a garden with a fountain, a parterre and several sculptures. The Marli Palace is situated on the shore of a pond and opposite it there is the "Golden Mountain" cascade, the steps of which are faced with marble and gilded copper panels. The marble statues decorating the cascade are designed from the ancient original sculptures or brought in from Italy in 1870. In the park the alleys are also adorned with fountains. There are also two marble fountains in the square which bear resemblance to the fountain in front of the St. Peter 's Cathedral in Rome, hence their name, the "Roman" fountains.
