Elizaveta Pavilion

Elizaveta Pavilion, also known as Krasnaya Dolina, is located in Pavlovsk Park in the Red Valley and was a favorite resting place of Empress Elizaveta Alekseevna. The architecture of the building is distinguished by its originality: the columns on the side facades are arranged in a semicircle, and the main square hall with four glazed doors is surrounded by porticoes of various types, including an ancient peristyle and a staircase to the roof. During the 1911 restoration, the walls of the main volume were painted to look like "ruins" with white inserts imitating later additions, and the master Ivan Volin faced the columns with green and the walls with gray artificial marble. As of February 2026, the restoration workshop "Nasledie" was completing the restoration of the pavilion, the project of which also includes parquet flooring and an illusionary ceiling by Gonzago.
