The city that was built on islands! It makes for an interesting walk, doesn't it? It is impressive how much of the history you are able to pass on to us and it makes your posts standouts.
Krestovsky Island, Yelagin Island, and Kamenny Island, I had to look up how many islands there are now. At one point, I thought there were less than 50 and now they say over 100!
Was it Kamenny Island where the Romanoff family lived or spent their holidays?
I have to wonder about those benches!
Yes, you're absolutely right! At the eastern end of the island is the Kamennoostrovsky Palace, which was the favourite residence of Emperor Alexander I. There are also a few old summer houses on the island which once belonged to relatives of the imperial family. Thank you very much!
Thank you! You are the absolute best at the presentation!
