Pavilion Concert Hall
Pavilion Concert Hall, Concert hall in Catherine Park, Pushkin, Russia.
This concert pavilion in Catherine Park is a classical structure with four columns at its front entrance and a rotunda supported by ten columns beneath a low dome. The building combines functional performance spaces with carefully designed architectural proportions.
Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi designed and built this concert hall between 1782 and 1788 under commission from Catherine the Great. Its construction marks an important period of classical architecture in Russia during imperial reforms.
The walls inside feature artificial marble, Corinthian pilasters, and painted panels with mythological figures like Juno and Cronus that reflect imperial tastes. These decorations show how much the royal family valued classical themes in their spaces.
This concert hall is open to visitors during summer months and requires a separate admission ticket in addition to park entry. Visitors should plan to spend time exploring the surrounding park, which offers many additional features to see.
The floor features an ancient Roman mosaic from the 2nd to 3rd century depicting the abduction of Europa by Zeus. This distant artwork demonstrates the cultural ambitions of the imperial period.
