New Holland Island 1
The island was created in 1719, when the newly built Kryukov Canal and Admiralty Canal connected the Moika River with the Neva. The triangular island took its name after a number of canals and shipbuilding facilities that rendered its appearance similar to Amsterdam. Peter the Great took the opportunity to create a naval port, including a wooden palace for his own use. Today, the fortified island features a major recreation area dedicated to the pursuit of fun, art and outdoor activities.
