History of the St. Petersburg

Saint Petersburg is a city and a federal subject located in Northwestern Federal District of Russia on the delta of the Neva River at the east end of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. Founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27, 1703 as a "window to Europe", it served as the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years. To really feel all the beauty and harmony of St. Petersburg's architecture one must stroll along the banks of the Neva, listen to the ripple of its waves, contemplate the city's buildings, the vistas of its quays and canals.Only then will the city on the Neva reveal itself in all its charm – the charm of the wonderful and inimitable City of Bridges.
