Description

The Large Cascade from the time of Peter I to the present day is among the highest and most beautiful fountains not only in Russia, but also in the world. The construction of the Grand Cascade was begun by decree of Peter I in 1715 and was carried out simultaneously with work on the Peterhof palaces. It makes up a beautiful architectural ensemble with the building of the Grand Palace in Peterhof, making the approach to it especially picturesque. 255 statues, bas-reliefs and sculptural elements are involved in the design of the fountain, and 75 water cannons shoot water jets several meters up. The underground part is formed by two grottoes – Upper and Lower; excursions are conducted to each of them.
