Fountains near the Palace of Peter I (Strelna)

Two fountains near the palace of Peter I in Strelna are located symmetrically relative to the central axis that runs through the hill slope and the center of the wooden building. Initially, in 1719–1720, there were two twelve-sided basins at the northern facade of the palace, from which jets of water rose to a height of 10 meters. After the new route of the Peterhof Road was laid in the 1780s and the building was transferred to a hospital, the garden composition was simplified, the pools were filled in, and the staircases were eliminated. The fountain basins were uncovered in 1932, and their complete reconstruction together with the park took place in 1987–1999 after the palace was transferred to the Peterhof museum-reserve.
