ARCHITECTURAL SYMPHONY 

From the History of Palaces and Mansions
7 days/6 nights

In comparison with Amsterdam, London, Paris and Moscow, Saint Petersburg is a very young city. The intention of Czar Peter I was to create a new city merging the features of various world capitals: European and Asian, Eastern and Western. The city would be multinational and multi-confessional.
The architectural ideas of the Russian and foreign masters who designed the city, followed the tendencies of great European styles and at the same time stayed within the visions of Peter the Great. 
From the very beginning, Saint Petersburg was a place where Russian aristocrats were able to establish their social standing through their posessions. The life of the imperial court and noble families was characterized by unprecedented wealth and exquisite magnificence. This is seen in both the memoirs of their contemporaries and in the architectural style of the numerous palaces and mansions in Saint Petersburg.
