Peterhof Palaces as complex, Palace complex in Peterhof, Russia.
The Grand Palace stretches across the terrain with beige and white facades, crowned by two pavilions featuring gilded cupolas at each wing.
Peter the Great commissioned this palace in 1714 as a response to Versailles, but Empress Elizabeth later expanded it through architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
The Grand Cascade in front of the palace displays numerous bronze sculptures and 64 fountains, representing Russia's maritime achievements.
The palace opens daily except Mondays from 10:30 to 19:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the ceremonial rooms.
The fountain system operates without pumps, using natural spring water pressure from elevation differences in the surrounding terrain.
