The Russian Monarchy

The history of Saint-Petersburg goes back to 1703, the time when tzar Peter 1 - the great reformer and the first emperor of Russia - laid down the first stone of the Peter and Paul Fortress. He was not planning to build an ordinary city, his intentions were to construct the capital of Russia. Thus it could be easily called his dream city. Many foreign architects came to Saint-Petersburg to create the image of a strong and at the same time beautiful and up-to-date capital of one of the greatest states of the world. And after that throughout many years Saint-Petersburg together with its famous suburbs: Peterhof, Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin), Pavlovsk and Gatchyna turned into a splendid aristocratic ensemble. The imperial Saint-Petersburg and its excellent satellites (the former residencies of Russian tzars) are rich in magnificent palaces which strike one's imagination especially nowadays. Those buildings amaze with their decor and ornamentation made of rare precious materials. Today they are considered to be priceless. And so we are happy that all these cultural monuments survived up to our time and we all have the opportunity to enjoy their splendor and beauty.
