The world-famous palace, fountain and park ensemble of Peterhof is an outstanding landmark of Russian artistic culture of the 18-19th centuries. Founded in the very beginning of the 18th century by Emperor Peter the Great close to his new northern capital city of St.Petersburg, Peterhof was intended to become the most splendid official royal summer residence. Credit for its creation should go to a great number of eminent architects, artists, and anonymous folk craftsmen. Its wonderful parks, 176 fountains and 4 cascades, majestic palaces, numerous gilded statues of ancient gods and heroes, remarkable collections of sculpture, painting make Peterhof a veritable gem of art, often called "Capital of Fountains" or “Russian Versailles”, unique in the world.
