Summer Garden - a monument of landscape art of the early 18th century. The garden was broken in 1704 near the summer residence of Peter I and was planned by the king himself. The territory of the Summer Garden then stretched from the Neva to the modern Nevsky Prospekt. At that time, so-called regular parks with a strict geometric layout of avenues, lawns, and clipped trees were popular. To drain the swampy ground, channels and ponds were dug, the Moika River was connected to the Fontanka River.
