A beautiful adornment to the Tsaritsyno Palace, this eponymous park is a vision in historic architecture resting harmoniously with carpets of velvety verdure. Built at the behest of Catherine the Great, the park is an idyllic canvas mottled with tranquil ponds, pavilions, alcoves, decorative bridges and an arsenal of crumbling Gothic buildings, most of which are beguiling red-brick structures bearing decorations and Masonic symbols in white limestone. From cut-glass exhibits and rich chinaware artifacts to intriguing court memorabilia, the park’s many edifices including the Opera House, the Bread House and the central Grand Palace itself, deftly chronicle the historic, cultural and artistic heritage of ancient Russia with the help of numerous artifacts and collectibles. Peppered across the verdant course of the park is a tracery of burial mounds which lend deep insights into the life and times of the ancient tribe who once inhabited it. A unique collective steeped in history, culture and unbridled natural beauty, the entrancing Tsaritsyno Park is one of the most treasured landmarks of Moscow.
