Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve: Walking Audio Tour on Mobile App

Tsaritsyno occupies a special place among the numerous estates in Moscow. Great Empress Catherine II intended to build a luxurious residence away from the Kremlin. The empress's plan did not come true, but even what Russian architects managed to implement has amazed the imagination of visitors for more than two centuries. On a tour of the palace and park ensemble, you will see all the buildings of the complex - from one-story houses to a majestic palace. You will appreciate the diligence with which the architect Bazhenov finished even the minor buildings of the failed tsar's residence, not to mention the tsar's palace. You will plunge into the Catherine's era and understand the architectural game of the architect. See how the viewing angle completely changes the impression of a particular building. On a walk, you will learn to read the architectural details that decorate the buildings, and unravel the inscription encrypted in the decor. You will slightly open the veil of the mystery of a woman's whim and find out the possible reasons for the royal anger, as well as why the master's accusations of being too obvious a hobby for Masonic signs are hardly consistent You will not have an easy walk in the park - you will be immersed in the eighteenth century, the century of theatrical play and scenery, the century of the splendor of the imperial court and the genius of Russian architects.
