My favorite city is St. Petersburg. The second largest city in Russia.

St. Petersburg was founded May 16, 1703, when, at the behest of Tsar Peter I on the Hare Island, the construction of the Peter and Paul Fortress was started. Already on June 29 the future capital of Russia received its proud name - St. Peter Burkh - in honor of St. Peter the Apostle.
