The Grotto Pavilion was built under Elizabeth Petrovna in 1755-1756 according to the project of the chief architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. The construction and interior design was carried out by the court counselor Ivan Russia. The grotto became the first pavilion built on the shore of a Large pond. In the time of Elizabeth, it became fashionable to decorate the halls with shells and tuff, and there was such a room in the Grand Palace, but because of the dampness it had to be destroyed. And then a Grotto pavilion was built, surrounded on three sides by water, inside like a cave covered with shells and sea pebbles.
