St. Petersburg is one of the worlds most beautiful cities and one of the most important cultural centers in Europe. St. Petersburg is also called the "Northern capital of Russia and, second, to show the world that his countrymen were not just peasants and barbarians. Thousands of workers gave their lives building the magnificent city on a swampland.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why St. Petersburg also has this somewhat depressive atmosphere which one can clearly feel reading Dostoevsky novels.

From the 18th till the beginning of the 20th century St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian empire. The historic centre of Saint Petersburg and related groups of monuments were included in UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990.Sightscity's oldest building is the fortress of Peter and Paul (1703).Peter and Paul Cathedral (1712-1733) is the main building in the fortress. Its gilded spire, 122.5 meters high, is one the symbols of St. Petersburg. Russian tsars and members of the royal family are buried in the cathedral and in the nearby Grand Dukes Mausoleum.. Petersburg is one of Europe's most beautiful cities. As the former capital of imperial Russia and the residence of its tsars, the city has many splendid architectural treasures.

Many of the glorious mansions are now home to museums and none come more impressive than the famous State Hermitage Museum. One of the largest and oldest museums of the world, it was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great and is famous for its wonderful park ensemble.
