The city's rich history and architectural marvels are beautifully represented through this image.

Its baroque design seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, creating an enchanting atmosphere for visitors. As one gazes upon this photograph, they can almost feel themselves transported back to a time when Peter the Great himself founded the Academy of Science on Vasilevsky Island.
