Created thanks to the indomitable will of a single man, Peter the Great, the brilliant northern capital of the state was destined to be born and grow on swampy lands adjoining the Neva River. This richly illustrated album fully reflects the splendor of St Petersburg and its celebrated suburbs and tells the fascinating story of the remarkable city.
