Lyceum Garden

The Lyceum Garden in the city of Pushkin has the shape of a trapezoid and is bounded by Sadovaya, Dvortsovaya, Srednyaya Streets and Lyceum Lane. In the garden stands a white marble plaque with the Latin inscription "Genio loci", which was installed by the lyceum students of the first, Pushkin's graduation class. In 1818, the area was enclosed with a new fence by architect A. Menelas, which repeated the outline of a church fence, because of which the garden was for a long time called "the fence". During the occupation of Pushkin, the Germans set up a cemetery for their soldiers on this territory.
