Tsar Peter I (the Great) conceived and built St.Petersburg, thumbing his nose at the Swedes, and moved his capital there when St.Petersburg was finished in 1712. His motive was to present a worthy and impressive city to the world. He named it for his patron saint, St.Peter, it was not a mark of vanity on his part.

∙ 12y agoThe first accommodation built in the city of St Petersburg was a wooden house for Peter the Great himself. The domik is very small - only 60 sq. meters and is a strange combination of a traditional Russian house - izba - and a Dutch home with large and elaborate windows and high roof, covered with wooden tiles. Peter lived in this house between 1703 and 1708 and the living room, the bedroom, and the study, filled with Peter's original belongings, still bear the mark of his presence.
