St. Petersburg is a city of wonderful gardens. One of the oldest gardens in the city is the Summer Garden. This is one of the most beautiful sights tourist who visit Russia would see in his/her life. It was founded in the beginning of the 18th century by the order of Russian tsar Peter the Great. The tsar himself was involved in planning the Summer Garden.
Various statues were brought from Europe to the garden and were placed there. The statues were preserved till our times and are very popular with Petersburg travel tourists. The sculptures of Italian sculptors of the past centuries, mostly 17th and 18th centuries are located there and can be viewed by the visitors. It is the oldest collection of statues in the whole country. Some of the statues in the Summer Garden represent Antique heroes and gods.
Russian tsar Peter the Great’s Summer Palace was also built in the garden. The palace still stands there and represents a beautiful building, made of stone. It was one of the first buildings in the city built of stone. The interiors of the palace are modest, but decorated with great taste. When you'll tale a Petersburg flights it would be easy to see the mighty gardens from the hights.
