Another great place for a walk in Gatchina is the Priory Park. The central attraction here is the palace of the same name, which in many ways is considered a world architectural masterpiece. Perhaps its main feature is the choice of construction material: its walls are made entirely of earth, and this has not affected its appearance one bit.
