PETERHOF FOUNTAINES
Peterhof, a place of amazing beauty, the favorite residence of Russian emperors and empresses in Saint Petersburg... The well-known artist and art historian Alexander Benois wrote at the beginning of the 20th century: “Among the fairy-tale palaces of Versailles, Aranjuez, Caserta, Schonbrunn and Potsdam Peterhof hold a very special place… Peterhof arose out of the sea foam, as it were, brought to life by the command of a mighty sea ruler… The fountains at Versailles are an elegant decoration which could be done without… The fountains at Peterhof are not an addition, but the main thing. They are the symbolical expression of a sea realm”* Top Attractions
