The northern PalmyraEvery visitor in St. Petersburg immediately notices the Admiralty Spire. Facing St. Peter and Paul’s fortress across the river, the Admiralty was planned and built as the central landmark of the residential area on the left bank of the Neva river. It marks the beginning of the city’s central avenue, which was constructed during the reign of Peter the Great by Swedish prisoners of war. The city’s first real street ‘Neva Perspective’ is now called Nevsky Prospect. The third major construction site, besides St. Peter and Paul’s fortress and the Admiralty, was the Summer Garden, where, by the architect Tresini’s design, Peter’s Summer Palace was erected, and has remained virtually unaltered to the present day. Beginning in the 18th century, country palaces and parks gradually emerged around the new Russian capital. The most famous and luxurious of all was Peterhof. Its wonderful palaces, surrounded with parks and spectacular fountains, leave one dazed by their harmony and opulence. The talent of architects has turned this area into an architectural legend. Today it is one of the most frequently visited suburbs of St. Petersburg. Another well-known suburb of St. Petersburg is Tsarskoye Selo, the center and oldest architectural memorial of which is Catherine’s Palace, built by the renowned master Rastrelli. The three parks, encompassing a vast area of 600 hectares, boast 100 architectural structures- from palaces to pavilions and bridges. All the palace interiors are unique specimens of decorative art. Tsarskoye Selo is closely linked with the name of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. Being young, Pushkin spent six years in the local lyceum, where his poetic genius first manifested itself and bloomed. Pushkin’s first verses and poems were written here. During World War II the architectural ensembles of Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo were seriously damaged by the German invaders. Today most of the old splendor has been restored, although a few priceless objects were irrevocably lost. Among those is the Amber Chamber from Catherine’s Palace – a unique set of amber panels that lined the walls of the room and were rightfully considered a masterpiece of decorative art. The Nazis dismantled the room and took the panels away, and even until now the search for the lost has been to no avail. St. Petersburg was expanding along with its beautiful environs full of palaces and parks. It is simply impossible to describe all the palaces, monuments and parks that decorated the city.
