Summer Garden was laid in the first third of the XVIII century by the decree of the Emperor Peter I. The reasons for its creation originally were quite personal – Peter the Great wanted to laid the garden for himself and personally designed its plan to make it more alike the West European parks of that time. Later, the Summer Garden was supposed to be used as summer residence for the emperor. Numerous garden masters and architects (first of them was Ivan Matveev) worked on realization of the Peter’s I desires. Also, among the architects, who worked on the project of the Summer Garden were D. Trezzini, M. Zemtsov, F. – B. Rastrelli and many other. Marble statues for the decoration of the garden were ordered by Peter the Great straight from Italy, where the best Venetian masters worked on them.
The most notable in the garden is its wonderful fence, which called Nevskaya. The project of the fence was created by the architect Y. Felten and took him 15 years to realize it, but the beauty of this fence catches the imagination. It is 232 meters of the real art. Decorated with bronze and gilt fence, column vases, made of red granite, wonderful carving of the gates – all this completes the image of the Summer Garden and makes it absolutely unforgettable.
