To the south of Petersburg in the city of Pushkin. There is an amazing and charming place.
The park was laid in 1720, three years after the foundation of the future Catherine Palace. On the "green territory", which contained two sub-parks, there are many historical monuments.
Любил я светлых вод и листьев шум,
И белые в тени дерев кумиры,
И в ликах их печать недвижных дум.
Всё — мраморные циркули и лиры,
Мечи и свитки в мраморных руках,
На главах лавры, на плечах порфиры —
Все наводило сладкий некий страх
Мне на сердце; и слезы вдохновенья,
При виде их, рождались на глазах.

At first there was the Dutch garden (by hearsay several avenues put not without Peter I's participation), he is also called Old. The first name the park was given in honor of origin of the masters working on its creation and also because of style which they applied. And the second – just because this zone of Catherine Park appeared the first.
"The green old man" at three "steps" near the palace settled down. The accurate lawn holding the central position and surrounded with a flower and shrubby frame became distinctive feature of this garden. At the third level of a garden dug two rectangular reservoirs (Mirror ponds). The river running directly from the hill generated still a couple. They were called Mill and Top ponds. The first of them joined the Cascade system of reservoirs subsequently.
At the time of Elizabeth, Pyotr's daughter, the garden extended. It is located several sculptures from marble executed in the majority by the Venetian handymen of the beginning of the 18th century. The sculptures representing Magnificence and the World became "heart" of each lawn. In the territory of the lower rovnya of the park built couple of pavilions on Rastrelli's project. The Grotto and the Hermitage to which from the palace the avenue of the same name framed with the generations of myths embodied in a stone directed became them.
The admiralty, bathtubs (Lower and Top) and also Hermitage kitchen supplement garden space in the second half of the 18th century. Over them father and the son Neyelov worked. At the same time there is one more garden – landscape or English. The system of Cascade ponds which is already mentioned above became its feature. A set of reservoirs coordinated to the help of falls.
When Catherine the Great began to rule the empire, the garden was decorated with the military trophies received during the fights of the Russian Empire with Ottomans. Columns (Moreysky, Chesmensky and Crimean) became them. Also brought to a garden Tower-ruina, plus the Turkish cascade and a booth. At Ekaterina Kameronova the gallery, the Concert hall and Agatova rooms also appeared.
Gate to "Любезным моим сослуживцам" appeared in a garden after the victory over Napoleon.
In the middle of the 19th century the park was added with the pavilion the Turkish bath.
Dated Hermitage for the three-hundredth birthday of Tsarskoye Selo opened for visits, before within 70 years city visitors of Pushkin had no such opportunity. To the same date restored Hermitage kitchen and prepared the Lower bathtub and the Turkish bath for excursions. Since recent time concert actions began to take place in the Hall pavilions on the island and the Evening hall.
