Tsars Village (Tsarskoe Selo in Russian), located 25 km south of St. Petersburg, one of St. Petersburg's numerous Imperial estates, first appeared in the 18th century as the summer residence of the Russian tsars. In 1918 the town was renamed into Detskoe Selo (Children's Village). In 1937 the name was changed into Pushkin, to commemorate the centenary of the great Russian poet's tragic death. Created for two centuries by many prominent architects, the unique architectural ensemble of Pushkin is world famed for its elegant palaces and pavilions, landscape parks and ponds, 18th-century marble statues and historic obelisks. This "town of Muses" inspired many celebrated Russian poets, painters and musicians to create their renowned masterpieces in music and art.

The Catherine Palace is a remarkable example of Russian baroque architecture. Named after its creator, Empress Catherine, the second wife of Peter the Great, and designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, Palace is over 1,000 feet long. The facade with the height of more than 300 m is embellished with columns, figures of the atlantes, cartouches with coat of arms and openwork balcony railings. The suite of the golden parade halls with the widely known Amber Hall impresses the contemporaries. |

Peterhof is perhaps St. Petersburg's most famous and spectacular Imperial estate. Nestled on the shore of the Gulf of Finland (part of the Baltic Sea), Peterhof is a tremendous complex of the attractive area and palace luxury. The Grand Palace, filled with fascinating and elaborate interiors, sits on top of a high seashore ridge overlooking the vast Lower Park adorned with fountains, statues and pavilions. There are three major cascades and over 120 fountains in the park. The most impressive is the Grand Cascade, located directly below the Grand Palace and featuring an impressive golden statue of Samson grasping the mighty jaws of the lion. |
