In the SW corner of the pond you can see the blue and white Marble Bridge (also called Palladiev Bridge) which runs across the channel connecting the Great Pond with a number of small ponds and channels.
     This bridge is the work of Vasiliy Neelov and was completed between 1770 and 1776. It was modeled after the Palladian bridge at Wilton in England. Neelov first made a wooden model for the bridge, which was sent to Yekaterinburg in the Urals. There on his pattern the future bridge was built out of marble and sent back to Tsarskoe Selo in pieces were it was reassembled.
     The bridge’s gallery is classically restrained in form and made of blue and white marble. It is ornamented by Ionic columns and an elegant marble balustrade.
