| Peterhof


Peterhof ( or Peter's Court in German) is an island covered with palaces and gardens. Peter the Great selected this island as his home because it was located next to the Kronshdadt naval base.

Peterhof is famous for the Grand Cascade and Samson's Fountain. The cascade of fountains resembles those of the Louvre, and the Statue of Samson conquering a lion represents Peter's victory over Sweden (the lion is a symbol of Swedish monarchy). Germans occupied Peterhof during the Siege of Leningrad and destroyed many of its pieces of art. Since then, many have been recovered and restored. Peterhof is one of the most famous sights in St. Petersburg and one of the most interesting museums of the Russian Imperial era.
