St. Petersburg’s First Architect is an exhibition in Peter and Paul Fortress commemorating Domenico Trezzini. Born 350 years ago, he became the principal architect in the city’s early days. He is responsible for such masterpieces as Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Summer Palace of Peter the Great, the Twelve Collegia on Vasilievsky Island – the places it is hard to image St. Petersburg without. Trezzini did not just design specific edifices but introduced a whole number of urban planning principles that helped shape St. Petersburg
