Pushkin, part three: Catherine Palace Gardens

Before we left Pushkin yesterday we walked around the gardens. While the weather was wet and grey (just like almost every day here!) it was lovely.















There are many buildings throughout the gardens. We did have a map, but it is written in Cyrillic. This building looked like a big music box on the inside. Perhaps for bells?









Another building had mosaic floors and Greek statuary inside.






There is also a Chinese Village on the property.






All for the enjoyment of royalty. I imagine it is stunning in the summer. It was nice to have it all to ourselves, though.

Location:Pushkin, Russia
