The Marble or Palladian Bridge, a.k.a. the Siberian Marble Gallery ( eng.tzar.ru/museums/palaces/catherine_park/landscape/ma... )
The Siberian Marble Gallery between Swan Islands was modeled after the Palladian Bridge near Wilton House and served as a showcase for the Ural marbles. All the details of the bridge — including the granite Ionic colonnade — were produced in Yekaterinburg, transported to Tsarskoe Selo and then assembled in the workshop of Vincenzo Tortori in 1774.
