Catherine Park

Catherine Park in the city of Pushkin, located near the Catherine Palace, is an integral part of the Tsarskoye Selo Imperial Residence. The park houses the Roller Coaster Pavilion with an octagonal hall and a statue on the dome, as well as the Upper Bath with a central octagonal hall painted by A. I. Belsky based on the frescoes of Nero's Golden House in Rome. Galvanoplastic copies, cast in the workshop of the Imperial Academy of Arts using the method of physicist B. Jacobi, are installed on the Granite Terrace. In the middle of the Big Pond stands the "Hall on the Island" pavilion, rebuilt by D. Quarenghi in 1794, where musical and dance evenings were held in the 18th century.
