Pokrovsky Town (Pushkin)

Pokrovsky Town in Pushkin is a complex of buildings made in exposed brickwork with plastered details, in the architecture of which motifs of ancient Russian architecture are used. During the design, elements of Russian architecture of the 17th century were borrowed, in particular from the Rostov Metropolitan Court, which is reflected in the facades with arcade belts, figured platbands, and multi-lobed window lintels. Three gates led to the territory: the main southern one and service western and eastern ones. In the 1940s–1990s, the historical appearance was disrupted by the construction of new buildings, including the main academic building, which closed the entrance perspective.
