Summer Palace of Peter I

The Summer Palace of Peter the Great (Russian: Летний дворец Петра I) was built in Saint Petersburg between 1710 and 1714 in the northeast corner of the Summer Garden, located on an island formed by the Fontanka River, Moyka River, and the Swan Canal. Its northern perimeter runs along the left bank of the Neva River across from the Cabin of Peter the Great and Peter and Paul Fortress and was the first palace built in Saint Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia.

The building is currently a museum. It is open to visitors and has been recreated to bring out in essence its features as it existed at the time of Peter the Great.
