Across the road separating Catherine Park from Alexander Park, one can see two originally designed bridges. One of them is called Grande Caprice - a massive humpback arch topped by a pagoda. The bridge is one of the most original constructions in the park, combining elements of antique and Oriental architecture.
     Grande Caprice as well as Small Caprice located nearby, were designed in 1770 by architect Neelov. In the 18C the Grande Caprice was used as the main entrance to Tsarskoe Selo.
