A quick dive into the history of Saint Petersburg, Russia!

Founded by Peter the Great on May 27, 1703, as Russia's "window to Europe" after capturing Swedish land in the Great Northern War. Built on marshy Neva delta, starting with Peter and Paul Fortress. Became imperial capital in 1712, replacing Moscow.
