And now it is time to admire also with The Summer garden.

For the garden called Summer the town at the rivulet nicknamed subsequently Fontanka was chosen; breakdown it began to be made, without postponing, – in 1704, – on the project of the regular park. The garden was built with live participation of Pyotr who planned his strict planning: avenues, numerous sculptures, fountains, arbors…

In The Summer garden there were 250 marble sculptures ordered by a part in Italy. And here fountains were the first in Russia.
