Big Circles, Pavlovsk park
Big Circles, Pavlovsk park, Architectural landmark in Pavlovsk Park, Russia
The Big Circles stand within Pavlovsk Park's 600-hectare grounds, featuring symmetrical paths and geometric arrangements that create distinct visual patterns throughout the landscape.
Italian architect Vincenzo Brenna designed the Big Circles in 1792 as part of the expansion project that transformed Pavlovsk from a country residence into an imperial estate.
The Big Circles area incorporates Italian garden design principles with classical elements, reflecting the European influences that shaped Russian imperial landscaping traditions.
Visitors can access the Big Circles through multiple connecting pathways that lead to different sections of the park, including the Palace area and the Slavyanka River valley.
The circular layout contains carefully positioned bronze statues and ornamental elements that create specific visual alignments when viewed from different angles within the space.
