🇷🇺⛲️ #OTD On 20 August 1721, the first launch of the famous fountains and cascades, which are a monument of world hydraulic art of the 18th-19th centuries, took place in Peterhof.

🟣The works on the creation of the ensemble continued for two centuries. They involved outstanding architects Leblon, Miketti, Zemtsov, Rastrelli, Felten, Shtakenshneider. Thanks to their labours, the estate with small palaces turned into the “capital of fountains” - a pearl of world architecture.

🏰 Today Petrodvorets is a world-famous open-air museum city. There are 10 museums and three parks open for viewing. There are three cascades and 173 fountains in the Upper Garden and the Lower Park.

🏛️ Tsarskoe Selo is a unique museum-reserve near St Petersburg, protected by UNESCO. Founded in 1710 as an imperial residence, this architectural complex became a city in 1808, combining the role of a tourist, scientific and industrial center.

🎨 The palace and park ensemble of Tsarskoye Selo is a pearl of the world architecture of the XVIII-XX centuries. Baroque, classicism and art nouveau styles harmoniously intertwined here, embodied in the Grand Palace of Tsarskoye Selo, the Alexander Palace and numerous pavilions scattered throughout the vast parks with a total area of 300 hectares.

🍁 The nature of Tsarskoye Selo is amazing in its beauty and diversity. The difference between the photos is only five days: lush greenery gives way to golden autumn, creating unique contrasts and demonstrating the magic of the changing seasons.
