The most beautiful and interesting fountains of Russia can be found in Saint Petersburg. The palace complex Peterhof is rich in the beautiful and unique fountains. The most impressive of these are the Great Cascade and Samson Fountains. These fountains surprise the guests of the city not only by the impressive size, but also by the beautiful design. They are surrounded by wonderfully beautiful landscape compositions and the numerous gilded antique sculptures.
With respect to the extent of Peterhof, the fact that all fountains work on its territory without connecting the pumps seems simply incredible. The main trick is the special system of the water supply, which is promoted from the numerous brooklets and accumulates in the special basin. Every fountain in Peterhof is peculiar. The fountains 'Adam' and 'Eva' are considered the most romantic. The most original well is probably 'pyramid', which is in particular square basin and forms more than 500 water jets of different length.
The fountain 'Neptune' is one of the most impressive. The fountain 'sun' seems incredibly futuristic and quite untypical for the culture of the past centuries. In Peterhof there are also the rather original fountains, as well as the 'umbrella'. In addition to the fountain are the nice benches, which the experienced tourists do not sit. As soon as you sit down on the bench, several hitherto hidden rays of the fountain swing up beside her. To explore all the secrets of Peterhof's fountains, you need some exciting days.
