The pool of the Adam Fountain has 8 faces, which corresponds to 8 paths radiating from it. Notice here the water jets,
reaching a 7-meter height,
are not sprayed, but split into large drops, and their fall into the pool is clearly visible from afar.
And Adam's sculpture is a copy from the sculpture
located in the Doge's Palace in Venice.
If there is Adam, then there must be Eve. The Eva Fountain is also located on Marlinskaya Alley, on the other side
from the Sea Channel at the same distance as Adam. Eva was built later, after the death of Peter 1, on the instructions of Catherine 1
Well, since we went from Eva, then let's continue along this part of the park and move towards the Marly Palace
The Lion Cascade fountain project was created by architect N. Michetti, but his idea was realized only in 1799-1801
Initially, the cascade was called the Hermitage. In the middle of the 19th century, the cascade was rebuilt. On a granite plinth,
14 eight-meter columns of dark gray granite were installed.
Initially, when the station was built, it was a dead end, and at the end of these arches there were beautiful wrought-iron grilles.
Trains came and stopped inside the station, later, when the line was extended, the grilles were dismantled and the station became a passageway.
Now the old railway station is not used, because the height of the platforms does not meet modern standards.
New platforms have been added from St. Petersburg, a tunnel has been laid under the tracks for passengers and a transition from one side to the other.
There is a modern cash register, part of the platform is fenced, otherwise in modern realities, it is difficult to cut off the flow of hares.
Electric trains run quite often.
