Pushkin (Tsarkoye Selo)

Pushkin (Tsarkoye Selo)

Pushkin is a unique architectural landmark. The Amber Room given to Peter the Great by Prussian king, in 1716, known as the Eighth Wonder of the World is located in this Palace. The amber decorations of the room missing since 1945 are now reconstructed by Russian gem stone cutters. The Tsarskoye Selo Park was the favourite place of Russian Tzars, where they were spending their leisure time. Paths around the Catherine Palace invite for a walk to see the pavilions of the Park built by famous Russian architects and sculptors. To the North from the Catherine Palace is the amazing Alexander Palace built by the Catherine's order for her grand-son Alexander, the future Russian Emperor Alexander II.
