Almost 10 years have passed since the restoration, and we still have not told you the most interesting facts. What was found under the earth, what artifacts were found by archaeologists and why the decision was made to restore the appearance of the garden. So, let’s begin.<\/h4>\n
By the end of the 30s of the 18th century, about fifty fountains were operating in the Summer Garden. The fountain system was damaged by a flood in 1777. Catherine II decided not to restore the destroyed buildings. In the 80-90s of the XVIII century, fountains and other buildings of the palace and park ensemble were dismantled.<\/h4>\n
Of all the significant buildings of the first third of the 18th century, only the Summer Palace of Peter I and the Grotto, rebuilt in the 19th century into the Coffee House pavilion, have survived.<\/h4>\n
Interest in the archaeological objects of the garden arose in 1961-1964 under the leadership of A.E. Hesse. In the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, archaeologists partially or completely excavated many of the lost buildings of the 18th century. The data obtained as a result of these studies made it possible to clarify the location of the objects and their archaeological appearance and formed the basis of the project for the restoration of the Summer Garden.<\/h4>\n
