Russia - Saint Petersburg - The Peter and Paul Fortress


Saint Petersburg
The Peter and Paul Fortress

Sent by myself during my travel to Saint Petersburg in July this year.

The Peterhof Palace (Russian: Петерго́ф, romanized: Petergóf, IPA: [pʲɪtʲɪrˈɡof]; an emulation of German "Peterhof", meaning "Pieter's Court") is a series of palaces and gardens located in Petergof, Saint Petersburg, Russia, commissioned by Peter the Great as a direct response to the Palace of Versailles by Louis XIV of France (read further).
