Unknown surroundings of St. Petersburg

Saint Petersburg, the main city of the Russian Empire, the cultural capital of modern Russia, and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with a multitude of preserved palaces, houses, and entire architectural ensembles. However, few tourists, having enjoyed the beauty of the historical center, venture beyond its limits. Meanwhile, the Leningrad region holds many masterpieces of imperial architecture within itself. They all differ in size, style, the fame of former owners, and preservation, but in each of these places, a priceless treasure is "buried" - the tragic history and atmosphere of a bygone era very distant from us. In Anna Korob's book "Unknown Surroundings of St. Petersburg," photographs of abandoned estates and temples in the Leningrad region are presented, along with the history of these places referencing authoritative sources. The publication will be a wonderful gift for those who love history, photography, and abandoned places.
