A group of brick buildings under common name the Admiralty was built by architect V.I. Neelov on the bank of the Big Pond in 1773 – 1783.
All buildings were constructed in commemoration of integration of Russia and the Tauric Khanate.
A collection of sail-boats and rowboats of the “Tsarskoye Selo Fleet” including an Indian pirogue, a Chinese sampan, a Venetian gondola, an Aleutian kayak, and a gold-plated boat of Catherine II, was kept in the main building.
Banners were kept in the Holland Hall and 168 English etchings after watercolours of Tsarskoye Selo were placed on the walls. The Globe of Gottorf gifted to Peter I and brought in Russia in 1713 was put in the Holland Hall in 1901.
Currently the main building is used for holding temporary exhibitions. One of the Bird Lodges houses the Admiralty Restaurant.

The decisive naval battle took place in the Chesme Bay (Aegean Sea) in June 1770. “All honor to the Russian fleet! On the 25th-26th we attacked, defeated, crashed, burnt, sank and turned to ashes the enemy’s fleet and became the rulers of the archipelago” (an extract from the report of Admiral G. Spiridonov).
The Chesme Column is the most magnificent monument of Russian military glory expressing the sea power of Russia. It was designed by architect Antonio Rinaldi. The pedestal is decorated with bas-reliefs illustrating the three decisive naval battles of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774: the Battle of Chesme, the Battle of Chios and occupation of the Mytilini Island by marine corps.
It was constructed on the Large Pond of the Catherine Park.

A column initially named Siberian Column was erected at the border of the Babolovsky Park in 1777. The column was erected in memory of integration of the Crimea and Russia according to the Treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji concluded at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768 – 1774.
The 15 meters high column was made of a single piece of Uralian marble and transported to St. Petersburg on a cart pulled by 120 horses. Trophies decorative composition was made by artist G.I. Kozlov upon legalization of the integration of the Crimea and Russia in 1783.
The composition includes Turkish banners, crescents, and arms. It was made at the Petersburg state bronze casting factory.
On October 22, 1785, the composition was mounted to the column and the column was named the Crimean Column.

It is a monument of military glory commemorating the victories of the Russian marine corps under the command of Count F.G. Orlov in the Russo-Turkish War on the Morea Peninsula (Mediterranean Sea). In January 1771, people of 25 island of the archipelago became citizens of Russia. In memory of that and as an example for the future generations Catherine the Great ordered to erect the Morea Column in Tsarskoye Selo (also called Small Rostral Column). The ship bows (rostra) evidence that the victory was gained with the help of the fleet.
The Morea Column designed by architect A. Rinaldi was erected in the Catherine Park on October 04, 1771. The column is 7 meters high.
The inscription on the pedestal tells about splendid victories of the Russian army and fleet under the command of Count F.G. Orlov.

A grand 15 meters high arch is situated at the southern border of the Catherine Park not far from the Ruin Tower. A road to Gatchina, a former estate of Count G.G. Orlov that was bought by Catherine II for Pavel Petrovich after Orlov’s death, led though this gate.
The marble gate was built by order of Catherine II in honor of Count Grigory Orlov who saved Moscow from plague.
Bronze letters on the Gatchina side of the gate read: “Moscow was rescued from danger by Orlov”.
The gate was designed by architect Rinaldi and was built in 1772 under supervision of stone master Pinketti. The marble elements of the gate were made of Karelian marble in St. Petersburg. The iron railing designed by J. Quarenghi was made at Sestroretsk armory.

The five-domed Saint Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in Tsarskoye Selo was constructed in the style of Suzdal Cathedrals. It was designed by architect Konstantin Ton. The construction began in 1835 by order of Emperor Nikolay the First.
The cathedral was looted in 1922; it was closed in 1938 and was demolished a year later. Soviet authorities planned to make a poets’ park on the territory of the cathedral but a Lenin monument was eventually erected there. The monument existed on the remains of the cathedral for more than 40 years.
The priest and the congregation of the Sophia Cathedral erected a Cross of Respectful Salutation next to the monument in 1995. Regular prayer services have been arranged there. In 2007, the Cultural Heritage Preservation Council of the Government of St. Petersburg took the decision to reconstruct the Saint Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in Tsarskoye Selo.
The cathedral was consecrated during the celebration of the 300th anniversary of Tsarskoye Selo.

The Sovereign Military Chamber was built not far from the Anichkov Palace by architect S.Y. Sidorchuk in 1913 – 1916 by order of Nikolay II.
The building was constructed after the fashion of ancient chambers of Pskov-and-Novgorod stone architecture. It was designed as a museum of Russian military history and was named the Sovereign Military Chamber.
Special attention was paid to the World War I.
A portrait gallery of St. George Commanders and officers awarded the St George’s Cross was planned in the Chamber.

Waisman) was funded from the budget of Pushkin municipal formation in accordance with Resolution №550 of the Pushkin Municipal Council dated June 22, 2000.

There is a monument in the Catherine Park that reminds of the Russo-Turkish War of 1828 - 1829. An oriental style stone building – the Turkish Bath Pavilion – is situated on a small cape that pushes out to a lake. The Pavilion was built in 1852 by order of Imperator Nikolay Pavlovich in commemoration of conclusion of the Peace Treaty of Adrianople that concluded the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. The treaty opened the Dardanelles and the Bosporus to all Russian vessels. Russia took Moldavia, Walachia, and Serbia under its protection and patronage.
According to the design of architect I.A. Monigetti the Pavilion has two domes and a tall turret shaped as a minaret with a crescent at the top that makes it look as a Mauritanian mosque.
In 1941-1945 the Turkish Bath was severely damaged by artillery shots.
