Pushkin Palace and Park

Tsarskoye Selo (formerly known as Pushkin) is one of St. Petersburg's numerous Imperial estates. Located just 25 km south of the city, the estate boasts a large landscape park, dotted with architectural follies, and centred on the magnificent blue, white and gold Catherine Palace. Named after its creator, Empress Catherine, the second wife of Peter the Great, the original palace was built between 1717 and 1723 by the architect Bronstein. The Palace was expanded later in the century and given a new, richly decorated Baroque facade by the architect Francesco bartholomew Rastrelli. One of Tsarskoye Selo major attractions is the Lyceum, located on the edge of the estate. Founded at the beginning of the 19th century and remarkably well-preserved, the Lyceum was a boarding school that taught the most celebrated of all Russian poets, Alexander Pushkin.
