Yelagin Island, Protected island in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Located at the Neva River mouth, Yelagin Island spans 0.94 square kilometers with numerous ponds, canals, bridges, and green spaces.
The island, initially named Melgunov, received its current name from Ivan Elaguine, a prominent Russian Freemason who owned it during the 18th century.
The Yelagin Palace, constructed in 1786, displays decorative arts from the 19th and early 20th centuries within its restored interiors.
The island offers boat rentals, bicycle paths, playgrounds, and multiple recreational facilities accessible through public transportation from central Saint Petersburg.
The entire island underwent a four-year transformation by architect Carlo Rossi, who created an English garden with viewing platforms and grottos.
