Peterhof Museal Reserve, Museum reserve complex in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The Peterhof complex stretches along the Finnish Gulf coast with parks, palaces, and 176 fountains connected by a 96-kilometer network of water channels.

Peter the Great initiated the construction of this residence in 1714, aiming to establish a grand complex that would demonstrate Russian power after victory in the Northern War.

The Grand Palace features 30 halls filled with period furniture, paintings, and decorative elements that represent 18th-century Russian imperial lifestyle.

The fountains operate daily from May through October, from 10:00 to 18:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages through audio devices.

The fountain system functions without pumps, using natural water pressure from springs located in the elevation differences of the surrounding terrain.
