The oldest formal park in Saint Petersburg, founded in 1704 by Peter the Great on an island bounded by the Neva, Fontanka, Moyka, and Swan Canal. Designed in the French formal style, it features shaded linden bosquets, working fountains, and an exquisite collection of 17th- and 18th-century Venetian marble statues. Along the Neva stands the world-famous wrought-iron grille designed by Yury Felten.
Highlights
- Iconic wrought-iron fence along the Neva embankment by Felten
- Unique collection of 17th- and 18th-century Italian marble statues
- Restored historical Baroque fountains and shaded lime alleys
- Peter the Great's modest two-storey brick Summer Palace
