Bridge of the Centaurs

The Bridge of the Centaurs is a pedestrian bridge across the Slavyanka River in Pavlovsk Park, built in the late 18th century according to the design of Vincenzo Brenna. It got its name thanks to the centaur figures decorating it, which are plaster copies of ancient Roman statues. The bridge lies in a bend of the river and fits well into the landscape; from it, one can see views of the palace and the Colonnade of Apollo. The structure has the status of a federal architectural monument according to the decree of the Government of Russia No. 527 of July 10, 2001.
