Peterhof

An extravagant collection of palaces, fountains and landscaped gardens, Peterhof is located on the gulf of Finland. Peter the Great commissioned the building of a palace here in 1714.
I did not visit the inside of this palace since it is is similar to Tsarkoe Selo. The main attraction is the fountains. When you consider when they were first constructed they are quite an engineering feat and rely on the hydrostatic pressure from the source in hills about 20 KM away. Their extravagant reconstruction since WWII and the Soviet era is remarkable.
