My friend made this photo during her visiting Pavlovsk.
Pavlovsk is a town near St. Peterburg, "Paul's place". To celebrate the birth of his heir, Grand Duke Paul was
presented this land by Catherine the Great in 1777.
If you in Pavlovsk , visit Pavlovsk Palace . It was designed by famous architect Cameron.
Cameron’s elegant Palladian mansion, built in 1782–6, forms the central block of today’s palace, with wings added in 1789 by Paul’s favoured architect, Vincenzo Brenna.
Park here is amazing. Must visited :
1 Temple of Friendship, it was built in 1780.
This Doric temple was the first building to use the Greek form of architecture in Russia.
2 The Apollo Colonnade
Cameron’s colonnade, built in 1782–83, encircles a copy of the Apollo Belvedere above a romantically dilapidated cascade.
3 The Centaur Bridge * in a bend of the Slavyanka river.*
4 The Rose Pavilion was the favourite place of Maria Fyodorovna from 1812. She held many concerts and literary evenings in this cottage.
5 Green Woman Alley
6 ** The Beautiful Valley**
7 Three Graces Pavilion
Don't forget to take nuts, there are lots of squirrels here, these cute ginger animals aren't afraid of people and eat from hands.
