The Summer garden in Saint Petersburg is another of the passions of Peter the Great. It was established in 1704. Artificial caves, pavilions, fountains and labyrinths of paths are located everywhere and the lands are surrounded on all sides by canals and rivers. In 1777, catastrophic floods devastated the park completely. The members of the imperial family abandoned him and left the Summer Garden to the higher circles. Today it is a popular park accessible to all visitors.
The park fence is made of wrought iron and is supported by pink granite columns decorated with vases and urns. There are more than 80 statues in the alleys, some of which are: Peace and Abundance, sculpted by Peter Borata, an allegorical depiction of Russia's victory over Sweden; the statue of Ivan Krylov - the Russian Lafontaine. 
At the southeastern end of the park is the authentic Summer Palace of Peter the Great. Designed by Domenico Trezzini and completed in 1714, this two-storey building with a fairly simple design, like most other king's homes. Two other attractive buildings are the Coffee House, built by Rossi in 1826, and the Tea House, built by Charlemagne in 1827.
