The Pavlovsk Palace Tour (with a visit to Grand Palace and a park)

Tour Plan: The Pavlovsk Palace is located 13 miles (27 km) away from St.Petersburg. The original estate was around 1500 acres and was a gift from Catherine the Great to Paul on the birth of his first son, the future Tsar Alexander I, in 1777, so that he could build his summer residence here. The palace started being constructed in 1781 designed by the famous Scottish architect, Charles Cameron, who made the design of the Grand Palace, one of the finest examples of Russian classicism, the Apollo Colonnade and the Temple of Friendship pavilions, and the impressive 16-column Three Graces Pavilion. After Cameron, many other architects including Voronikhin, Brenna, Rossi and others designed Pavlovsk.
The park was made by another great master, Pietro Gonzaga, who worked on it for 25 years, from 1803 to 1828.
