Alexander Park, Public park next to Peter and Paul Fortress, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Alexander Park spans 144 hectares near the Peter and Paul Fortress, featuring birch groves, oak clusters, pine trees, and spruce forests.
The park was established in 1842 under Minister of Finance E.F. Kankrin's initiative, transforming a former military glacis into a public recreation space.
The People's House theater, built in the late 19th century, presented opera performances and became a central entertainment venue for Saint Petersburg residents.
The park remains open 24 hours daily throughout the year, providing multiple walking paths, recreational areas, and sports facilities for visitors.
The park contains a miniature bronze city display showcasing scale models of Saint Petersburg's architectural landmarks, installed in 2011.
