Peterhof Palace
The Peterhof Palace (,〔 is commonly/historically transliterated into Russian as (g), so German ''ドイツ語:Peterhof'' is transliterated as "Петергoф" ''Petergof''.〕 Dutch for ''Peter's Court'')〔Adrian Room, ("Petrodvorets" ), ''Placenames of the world: origins and meanings of the names for over 5000 Natural Features, Countries, Capitals, Territories, Cities and Historic sites'' (1997)〕 is a series of palaces and gardens located in Petergof, Saint Petersburg, Russia, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great. These palaces and gardens are sometimes referred as the "Russian Versailles". The palace-ensemble along with the city center is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The dominant natural feature of Peterhof is a sixteen-metre-high bluff lying less than a hundred metres from the shore. The so-called Lower Gardens (''Nizhny Sad''), at 1.02 km² comprising the better part of Peterhof's land area, are confined between this bluff and the shore, stretching east and west for roughly 200 metres. The majority of Peterhof's fountains are contained here, as are several small palaces and outbuildings. East of the Lower Gardens lies the Alexandria Park with 19th-century Gothic Revival structures such as the Kapella.
Atop the bluff, near the middle of the Lower Gardens, stands the Grand Palace (''Bolshoi Dvorets''). Behind (south) of it are the comparatively small Upper Gardens (''Verhnyy Sad''). Upon the bluff's face below the Palace is the Grand Cascade (''Bolshoi Kaskad''). This and the Grand Palace are the centrepiece of the entire complex. At its foot begins the Sea Channel (''Morskoi Kanal''), one of the most extensive waterworks of the Baroque period, which bisects the Lower Gardens.
