In 1609-1702, on the site where the Catherine Palace now stands, there was a small Swedish noble estate with a wooden house, outbuildings and a modest garden - Saari Mois.

This settlement was first mentioned as part of the Nikolsky Izhora churchyard in the “Census salary book for Novgorod of the Votskaya Pyatina” of 1501. On the maps that were compiled for Boris Godunov, the estate is called "Saritsa". Later the name was transformed into “Sarskaya Manor”, ​​then into “Saarskoe Selo”, and finally Russified to “Tsarskoe Selo”.

After the victory over the Swedes, Peter I donated the manor to his faithful associate A.D. Menshikov.

During its history, the city was renamed more than once: Sarskaya Manor - 1710-late 1710s, Sarskoye Selo - late 1710s - August 1724, Blagoveshchenskoye - August - September 1724, again Sarskoye Selo - September 1724-1780s, Tsarskoye Selo - 1780s - 1917, in 1808-1820s - at the same time Sofia and Soldatskoe Selo - October 1917-1918, Detskoe Selo, named after Uritsky - November 20, 1918-February 9, 1937, Pushkin - from February 9, 1937.

The city's coat of arms was approved on March 12 (24), 1831. General Ya. V. Zakharzhevsky and Minister of the Court P. M. Volkonsky worked on it. It represents “in a scarlet field the golden monogram of Empress Catherine I, crowned with the imperial crown.”

The approved coat of arms was not the coat of arms of the entire city, but only imperial residence. In 1859, the first draft of the city coat of arms appeared, developed by Baron B.V. Köhne:

In the scarlet shield there is a golden castle with black seams, open gates and a crenellated tower above them, above which rises a golden imperial standard with a black imperial eagle.

In the 1882 project, the abstract castle was replaced by an image of the palace itself: In the scarlet field is the golden middle façade of the Tsarskoye Selo Palace, above which is the golden monogram of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. IN Soviet time the city did not have its own coat of arms. In the 1990s, the coat of arms of the 1831 model was registered as a trademark of the Tsarskoe Selo museum-reserve.

However, the city of Pushkin has the official status of an “intra-city municipal formation of St. Petersburg”, and not an imperial residence, as it was before February 1917. Therefore, by the resolution of the Pushkin City Council of the second convocation dated March 15, 2001 “On the draft Regulations “On the coat of arms of the municipal formation of the city of Pushkin” the following coat of arms was approved:

On a white cartouche with a gold outline there is an oval shield with the image of the monogram of Empress Catherine I on a red field. The cartouche is topped with a gold crown; in the lower part of the coat of arms there are decorative laurel branches of golden color.

The author of the project is E. M. Egorov. But at the same time, a deviation from heraldic norms was allowed. Therefore, the Pushkin Municipal Council, by its decision No. 16 of March 25, 2010, approved new official symbols of the municipality of the city of Pushkin:

The shield is four-part. In the first and third parts - in a scarlet (red) field, the golden crowned monogram of Empress Catherine I. In the second and fourth parts - in a purple field, the Russian state eagle of the times of Empress Catherine II: black, with golden beaks and paws and scarlet (red) tongues, crowned with three imperial crowns, of which the middle one is larger, holding in his right paw a silver torch burning with a golden flame; in the left paw there is a silver anchor with two paws (without a transverse beam on the anchor rod), with the eye (ring) down. On the eagle's chest is an oval azure (blue, light blue) shield with a silver four-pointed equal cross with flared ends bordered by a golden snake swallowing its tail.

This coat of arms is the large coat of arms of the municipality of the city of Pushkin. The small coat of arms of the municipality is a historical coat of arms, approved in 1831.

The always delightful Catherine Palace with its outstanding architectural and park ensemble serves as a symbol that shapes the modern image of Pushkin. The name of the palace is inextricably linked with the name of its first owner, Catherine I, which is still reminiscent of the monogram and cartouche with a crown on the main pediment of the palace. The main façade of the Grand Catherine Palace faces the Alexander Park, the opposite one faces south and faces the Catherine Park.

• A paid train runs from the main entrance to the park, which is very exciting and convenient, especially for visitors with children. The route of the locomotive runs through the Tsarskoye Selo State Museum-Reserve.
• Some tourists complain about long lines at the box office during the “high season”, the high cost of tickets and other “torments” associated with visiting Tsarskoe Selo, as well as other museums in the city. I would like to note that soon all these “torments” turn into insignificant trifles in comparison with the pleasures received, in general, from seeing the most famous and wonderful sights of the glorious Pushkin.
