From 1703 to 1725, Peter the Great lied from a landscape of marshes, peat bogs and rocks, architectural styles in stone and marble for a capital, Saint Petersburg, which he wished to be the most beauful city in all of Europe. CRITERION (I) [from 1703 to 1725] [the ambion of the program, the coherency of the plan and the speed of execuon] [Peter the Great] [a landscape of marshes, peat bogs and rocks] CRITERION (I) [a unique arsc achievement] [one of the most beauful cies in all of Europe] CRITERION (II) The ensembles designed in Saint Petersburg and the surrounding area by Rastrelli, Vallin de la Mothe, Cameron, Rinaldi, Zakharov, Voronikhine, Rossi, Monerrand, and others, exerted great influence in the 18th and 19th centuries on the development of architecture and monumental arts in Russia and Finland. The normave value of the capital was increased from the beginning by the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, followed by that of the Academy of Fine Arts. The urban model of Saint Petersburg, made explicit by future work completed under Catherine II, Alexander I and Nicholas I, was used during the reconstrucon of Moscow following the fire of 1812, and as new cies, such as Odessa or Sebastopol, spread in the southern part of the Empire.
