Information

Admire the historical architecture, plunge into the times of Imperial Russia, enjoy the scenery at the parks. If this is just what inspires you then you must visit the incredibly beautiful park Tsaritsyno, which is located in the southern part of Moscow. Park Tsaritsyno is a territory of dreams and fantasies full of greenhouses, ponds, mounds, romantic avenues and secluded gazebos. You can touch the beauty thanks to the exhibition of Russian sculptures and European paintings.

This great architectural work was built for Catherine the Great by Russian architect Bazhenov and Kazakov in pseudo-Gothic style.In 1796 the construction was suspended by the death of Catherine. Unfortunately, since then the palace has remained unfinished and left for almost two centuries. In the 1960s, the park became part of Moscow and acquired the status of a protected historical zone.

You will not be indifferent to the landscaping of the park, created in the late 18th century. The territory of the park includes a gorgeous collection of tranquil ponds. The Tsaritsyno estate is a unique example of an imperial summer house with musical fountains, picturesque landscapes and timeless atmosphere.

The collection of the Tsaritsyno Museum includes about 30,000 different exhibits. You will get acquainted with the masterpieces of Russian and Western European art from the 18th — early 20th century. An impressive collection of antique tapestries, folk art of Russia and Central Asia, modern dishes, ceramics, furniture, paintings and a rich archaeological collection will mesmerize you with its diversity and color.
