Description:
Tsarskoje selo became the summer residence of Russian royalty in the beginning of the 18th century when Peter the Great presented these territories to his wife. Later his daughter Empress Elizabeth built a magnificent baroque-style palace surrounded by the garden with many attractions. Pavlovsk is situated in the neighbourhood of Tsarskoje selo and represents a picturesque ensemble of palaces and parks. The Pavlovsk palace is one of the best examples of Neo-Classical style.
