Catherine's Garden is perfectly located to give 
the final touch to two architectural ensembles - 
Nevsky Avenue and Zodchego Rossi Street. In 
1873 a monument to Catherine II was opened in 
the center of the garden. From every side the 
garden is enclosed by most beautiful buildings:

people of St.Petersburg as a place to rest.
