or State Museum of Zaritzino (also Tsaritsino State Historical, Architectural, Natural and Landscape Preserve)
Tsaritsino is a former country estate located in the southeast of Moscow, an architectural landscape ensemble in the Neo-Gothic style. In the 17th century it belonged to the Streshnev Boyars and later to the Kantemir Princes. In 1775 Tsaritsino was purchased by Catherine the
Great and during her rule it was almost completely built to a design of the outstanding architect Vassily Bazhenov. Tsaritsino has many beautiful buildings and sculptures, among them the Greater Cavalry Building, the Bread House, the Minor Palace of Catherine II, the Opera House, the Figured Gates, and the Figured Bridge over the road leading to Kolomenskoye.
Now Tzarisino is an ensemble of pavilions and palaces created in accordance with the architect Bazhenov's project especially for the empress Ekaterina II. The Complex includes the Large Palace, the Small Palace, the Opera House, the Cavalry hut barracks, the Khlebnye gates and bridges. After reconstruction in 1998 three new pavilions were opened: the Small Palace, the Octahedron and the Opera House with changeable expositions. The Hall of the Opera House regulary arranges concerts.
