Big Stone Staircase in Pavlovsk park
Big Stone Staircase in Pavlovsk park, Stone staircase in Pavlovsk, Russia
The grand stone staircase with 64 steps connects the Pavlovsk Palace to the Slavyanka River valley through four flights separated by spacious platforms.
Built in 1799 by architect Vincenzo Brenna during Emperor Paul I reign, the staircase served as a ceremonial access point to the palace from Slavyanka River.
The staircase features four lion sculptures, with marble ones at the top displaying a gentle expression and cast iron ones at the bottom showing aggressive poses.
The stone staircase provides direct access between the palace grounds and the river valley, with viewing platforms offering views of the surrounding landscape.
The steps gradually increase in width toward the bottom, creating an optical effect that makes the staircase appear longer when viewed from below.
