Apollo Colonnade in Pavlovsk Park. Originally built by Charles Cameron in 1783, this was a complete double ring of limestone columns surrounding the Apollo Belvedere statue. However, in 1817, a violent thunderstorm struck the colonnade, collapsing part of the structure. The owners decided not to repair it, realizing that the "broken" form created a much more poetic, ancient feel that perfectly suited the Romantic era's obsession with decay and nature reclaiming art.

This rustic bench is a distinctive feature of landscaping style, known as the "Sentimentalist" tradition. Unlike the ornate iron benches, this bench is made of simple, whitewashed logs. This design choice is deliberate, reflecting the 18th-century fashion for "rural simplicity" (championed by Maria Feodorovna and designers like Charles Cameron).

Temple of Friendship in Pavlovsk Park. Built by Charles Cameron between 1780 and 1784, it was the very first building constructed in the park. It was officially dedicated to Empress Catherine the Great by her son Paul (the future Emperor) and his wife Maria Feodorovna as a gesture of thanks for gifting them the Pavlovsk lands. However, it was also a politically savvy move to rename it the "Temple of Friendship" to honor the visit of Joseph II, the Holy Roman Emperor, framing it as a symbol of enlightened European alliance.
