Puerta de Atocha.

With Elena George. The History Press 2004, cm.17x25, pp.654, ill.bw. hardcover dustjacket. St Petersburg was commanded into existence by Peter the Great, and its inherent artifice has made it one of the world's most storied cities. This award-winning narrative history chronicles what is perhaps the greatest story of any modern city anywhere, from its foundation in a swampy war zone in 1703 to its role in overthrowing Soviet power.
