I like my city very much because there are many beautiful streets, monuments and museums.Millions of people every year visit this city. It happens because St. Petersburg has a rich history, amazing monuments and many wonderful places.

The most famous place which everybody wishes to see is the park “Alexandria”. The first Cottage appeared here in 1826, the palace was built in the neo-Gothic style but they used Gothic architectural features without any organic link. My favourite place in Alexandria is a very attractive garden. There are many flowers like roses,tulipes and others.

I’m proud of my city.

I like my city very much and I’m proud of it because it is the city with the Great Past and it is the second capital of our country.

My favorite place in St. Petersburg is Kunstkamera. It is a museum with ugly sculptures of babies and animals. This stuff is very interesting, if you don’t pay attention to what it once was alive. You can find here, for example,stuffed of mutated deer or a human four meters tall! It is amazing place for me, and if these sculptures don’t cause nausea*, you sure to visit this place!
