🤍💙❤The Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg, 462 metres tall, is the tallest building in Europe. It serves as the headquarters for global energy giant, Gazprom.
🌇The tower’s organic ‘spire’ shape symbolises the power of water, while the standout glass facade allows the building to change colour depending on the position of the sun, giving the impression of a living object.

📌🇷🇺Let's travel today to the Saint Petersburg's outskirts, Royal Residence Gatchina!
🏰The royal residence became a city in the late XVIII century, when its owner was Emperor Paul I, he was actively engaged in the rebuilding and arrangement of the territory.
☎Gatchina was the first place where the long-distance telephone network was tested. In 1882 (6 years after the telephone was invented), the first telephone line in Russia was laid in the town.
💡In 1881 for the first time in the Russian Empire in Gatchina there was electric street lighting.
🚂Another interesting fact! In 1900, the first monorail in Russia was tested in the city. On it an open suspended carriage worked. It could accommodate up to 20 people.
🐰If you're planning a trip with children, they'll love the Palace Farm! (https://gatchinapalace.ru/park/farm/) It is home for a variety of animals, from Yakutian huskies to white peacocks.
