EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1905, showcases the stunning Moorish-style Turkish Baths located in Catherine Park, Tsarskoye Selo, Russia. The baths were designed by the renowned Italian architect Ippolito Monighetti and built in 1852 as a commemoration of the victorious Turkish campaign of 1828-29. Tsarskoye Selo, meaning 'Tsars Village' or 'Royal Village,' was a favored residence of the Russian royal family, situated just 26 km south of St. Petersburg. The Turkish Baths, a magnificent architectural masterpiece, were built along the riverside, with the tranquil lake serving as a picturesque backdrop. The intricate Moorish design, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflects the rich cultural influences that shaped the Russian Empire during this period. The baths were not only a symbol of the Russian monarchy's power and wealth but also a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. The English garden-style park surrounding the baths adds to the serene atmosphere, with lush greenery, winding paths, and beautiful flowers. The Turkish Baths at Catherine Park in Tsarskoye Selo remain an enduring testament to the grandeur and history of Russia, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique blend of architectural styles that defined the Russian Empire during the 19th century.
