Palace Park, Landscaped park at Gatchina Museum-Preserve, Russia.
The Palace Park encompasses 350 acres of land with numerous lakes, canals, and ponds connected by a network of paths and bridges.
Count Grigory Orlov established the park in 1770 as part of his grand estate, which later became a residence of the Russian Imperial family.
The park contains the Chesma Column near White Lake, commemorating Russian naval victories during eighteenth-century conflicts with the Ottoman Empire.
Visitors can access the park through multiple entrances and follow marked paths leading to historical structures, gardens, and waterfront viewing points.
The Echo Grotto serves as an entrance to an underground tunnel system that connects to Silver Lake through passages beneath the park grounds.
