Catherine Garden in St. Petersburg

Catherine Park was laid out in front of the Alexandrinsky Theatre in the 1820s by the project of K. Rossi and is part of the ensemble of Ostrovsky Square. Since then, the park has grown and expanded, and only twelve years after its foundation acquired the outlines that can be seen today.

In the center of the garden is a monument to Empress Catherine the Second, the pedestal of the monument is surrounded by figures of nine famous figures of the era of her reign.

The garden is limited by a grate, the gate of which is decorated with decorative details in the form of monograms of Catherine the Great.

The sidewalk near the garden is paved. Here you can see many St. Petersburg artists who exhibit and sell their paintings.
