Palace Square St Petersburg Russia 191186
Peterhof is a palace and garden complex and a former imperial residence. Built in 1711 by Emperor Peter I. It consists of Upper garden, Lower garden and several palaces. The most iconic landmark of Peterhof is Lower garden made in French style. There are several small palaces and 150 unique fountains. The fountain system is also unique – it functions because of water pressure differences without water pumps. Water comes from the near situated hill through complex of channels and locks. Fountains work from late April until late September.
