đ"Tsarskoye Selo State Museum and Heritage Site, Saint Petersburg, Russia⌠meaning âTsarâs Village,â a park and palace complex once home to the Russian imperial family comprising multiple significant architectural palaces and gardens including Catherine Palace and Alexander PalaceâŚâ
â
The complex, according to historian Robert K. Massie, an American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner who focused on the Romanovs, Tsarskoye Selo âwas a magnificent symbol, a supreme gesture, of Russian autocracy⌠Inside the park, monuments, obelisks, and triumphal arches studded 800 acres of velvet green lawn. An artificial lake, big enough for small sailboats, could be emptied and filled like a bathtub⌠The two palaces stood 500 yards apart in the Imperial Park⌠Outside the palace gates, Tsarskoye Selo, was an elegant provencial town [which] included mansions of the aristocracy lining the wide tree-shaded boulevardâŚââ
â
Shown here is the Grotto Pavilion inside Catherine Park, the surrounding gardens and parkland of Catherine Palace and one-time summer residence of the Russian tsars".â
