The place was built in XVIII century by the court architect Rastrelli. The centerpiece is the vast fountain complex with golden statue of Neptune in its center. The gold contrasts with the rustic stones of the grotto behind it, and makes the whole thing look as tasteful as a baroque fountain could ever be. Inside you can see the collection of the period art and home furnishings; that is, if you will be able to get through the hordes of tourists. The park is much more peaceful though.
The whole place was rebuilt from ground up after it was burned down during WW II.
