Marly Palace

The Marly Palace in the Lower Park of Peterhof got its name in memory of Peter I's visit to the residence of the French kings in Marly-le-Roi in 1717. During its construction, a corridor system was used for the first time, where rooms of different purposes adjoin the central axis, and the role of the ceremonial hall is assigned to the vestibule and the Front Hall. In the western part of the Lower Park, the Marlinsky Garden is divided by the Big Pond into the Bacchus Garden on the southern side and the Venus Garden on the northern side, closer to the sea. The bridges of the Sectoral, or Fan, Ponds are paved with bricks, and their railings are made in the form of patterned iron grilles.
