From history. ... in 1702, a house was built for Peter the Great on Markov island, not far from the fortress under construction, where the Emperor spent two months overseeing the construction of the citadel. When the threat from the Swedes retreated, Peter had left the parlor. For several years, the House of Peter the Great stood in the same place, but frequent floods destroyed it.
