Eagle Column, Memorial column in Palace Park, Gatchina, Russia.
The Eagle Column rises 6.4 meters high, featuring a marble eagle mounted on a four-sided pedestal made of granite and artificial stone.
Architect Antonio Rinaldi constructed this Neoclassical monument in 1770 during the ownership period of Grigory Orlov at the Gatchina estate.
The monument stands as the earliest structure in Palace Park, representing the architectural preferences and design elements of Russian nobility.
Visitors can locate the Eagle Column in the eastern section of Palace Park near the Sylvian Gates within the Gatchina Museum-Preserve complex.
The column shaft measures 50 centimeters in diameter and maintains visual connections with the Eagle Pavilion, built two decades later.
