The Grand Cascade, Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Grand Cascade, Peterhof Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia. The waters from all the fountains descending the bank, flow into this semicircular pool, the terminus of the fountain-lined Sea Channel to the Gulf of Finland. The Samson Fountain is in this pool. It depicts the moment when Samson tears open the jaws of a lion, representing Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War, and is doubly symbolic. The lion is an element of the Swedish coat of arms, and one of the great victories of the war was won on St Samson's Day. From the lion's mouth shoots a 20-meter-high vertical jet of water, the highest in all of Peterhof.

The most famous ensemble of fountains in the Lower park at Peterhof are simply breathtaking. The Grand Cascade fountains, which runs from the northern facade of the Grand Palace to the Marine Canal, comprises 64 different fountains, and over 200 bronze statues.
The large Samson Fountain was placed in this pool. It depicts the moment when Samson tears open the jaws of a lion, representing Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War.From the lion's mouth shoots a 20-metre-high vertical jet of water, the highest in all of Peterhof.
Perhaps the greatest technological achievement of Peterhof is that all of the fountains operate without the use of pumps. Water is supplied from natural springs and collects in reservoirs in the Upper Gardens.

Samson Fountain in Peterhof
The ideological center piece of the Grand cascade, is the sculptural group Samson Tearing Apart the Jaws of the Lion - a monument celebrating the great Russian victories.
During his lifetime, Peter I was often compared with another Samson - a biblical hero, whose first act of bravery, described in the 14th chapter of the Judges, was connected with the victory over a young frenzied lion.

Exploring the amazing Fountains at the Peterhof palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Grand Cascade is modelled on one constructed for Louis XIV at his Château de Marly, which is likewise memorialised in one of the park's outbuildings.
At the centre of the cascade is an artificial grotto with two stories, faced inside and out with hewn brown stone. It currently contains a modest museum of the fountains' history. One of the exhibits is a table carrying a bowl of (artificial) fruit, a replica of a similar table built under Peter's direction. The table is rigged with jets of water that soak visitors when they reach for the fruit, a feature from Mannerist gardens that remained popular in Germany. The grotto is connected to the palace above and behind by a hidden corridor.

Water is supplied from natural springs and collects in reservoirs in the Upper Gardens. The elevation difference creates the pressure that drives most of the fountains of the Lower Gardens, including the Grand Cascade. The Samson Fountain is supplied by a special aqueduct, over four km in length, drawing water and pressure from a high-elevation source.

Петерго́ф (нидерл. Peterhof, «двор Петра») — дворцово-парковый ансамбль на южном берегу Финского залива в 29 км от Санкт-Петербурга. Находится на территории города Петергоф (с 1944 года — Петродворец). От него происходит название Петергофской дороги. Находится в ведении Государственного музея-заповедника «Петергоф».
Петерхоф - Палата је служила као царска резиденција до Октобарске револуције, када је 1918. проглашена музејем. Током Другог светског рата Петерхоф су од 1941. до 1944. окупирали нацисти. Пре тога су совјетске власти евакуисале преко 8000 предмета и око 50 статуа из ове палате, што их је спасло од уништења. Палата је у току рата потпуно уништена од бомбардовања и борби.
После рата почела је реконструкција палате у Петерхофу, а она траје и данас. Доњи парк је поново отворен 1945, фонтане су повово прорадиле 1946, а копија скулптуре Самсона је израђена 1947. Реконструкција велике палате је почела 1952, тако да су 17. маја 1964. поново отворене за публику дворане музеја Петерхоф. То је данас један од најпосећенијих музеја Русије.

Петергоф обзор всех фонтанов. Финский залив.
Петергоф. Двор Петра. Обзор всех фонтанов дворцово-паркового искусства. Санкт-Петербург. Финский залив.
29 километров таково расстояние от Питера до Петергофа. В 1714 году у Петра I возникла идея создания загородной резиденции. Которая не уступала бы французскому Версалю. Так в 1723 году появился двор Петра или Петергоф. Петродворец удивил Европу своим великолепием не менее чем новый русский Петербург. Каскад фонтанов украшает Самсон покрытый золотом. Площадь Нижнего парка Петергофа 100 гектар. Осмотр достопримечательностей Петродворца занимает два дня.
