The park was personally designed by Tsar Peter in 1704, supposedly, with the assistance of the Dutch gardener and physician Nicolaas Bidloo. Starting from 1712, the planting of the Summer Garden was further elaborated by the Dutch gardener Jan Roosen...The Summer Garden was largely completed in 1719. The walks were lined with a hundred allegorical marble sculptures and other Venetian sculptors..... Interestingly, In the late 20th century, 90 surviving statues were moved indoors, while modern replicas took their place in the park..... The Summer Garden Park remains one of the most romantic and evocative places in St Petersburg.
