Troitskaya Mountain. Peterhof webcams

Peterhof, whose webcams can be viewed online on this site, is a small town in the Leningrad region, which is located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland, just 40 minutes from the "northern capital" of the Russian Federation

The city was founded by Peter the Great as his country residence. The toponym "Peterhof" is translated from German as "Petrov Dvor".
This city gained world fame thanks to the State Museum-Reserve, which is a complex of palace buildings surrounded by fountains and an amazingly beautiful park.
The Peterhof Museum is one of the most visited not only in the Russian Federation, but also on the planet. About 6 million tourists come here annually.
The highlight of the palace and park ensemble is the Big Fountain, which millions of travelers from all over Russia and the world strive to see.

The fountains of Peterhof, whose webcams can be viewed in real time, start at the end of April and turn off in mid-October

At the opening and closing of the "season of fountains" in Peterhof, grandiose celebrations are organized, which are attended by guests from various countries.
The Peterhof Museum-Reserve acquires a special charm in the autumn months, when the park adjacent to the luxurious palaces is painted in a variety of colors. This time of the year, unlike summer, the atmosphere is quiet and cozy.
The Peterhof garden and park complex is divided into the Upper Garden and the Lower Park. These are the most famous green areas of the city. The picturesque, carefully landscaped area is decorated with ancient pavilions, fountains, sculptures.
The lower park is furnished in a French style. The ensemble was formed in 1723 and included two systems of alleys that fanned out from the Bolshoi and the Marly Palace. The layout was so well thought out that not a single element of the garden decor is hidden from the eyes of visitors. Each alley leads to the palace or to the fountain.

From the alleys of the Lower Park, you can see the long construction of the Great Peterhof Palace, which is the center of the composition of the complex.

In front of the southern walls of the Grand Palace is the Upper Garden, which is a green hall in front of the residence. It is noteworthy that the plan for the arrangement of the garden was developed by Peter I. It includes a stunning floral carpet, topiary trees and labyrinths of shrubs. Between the green elements are sculptures and small architectural forms that you can admire endlessly.
