Oryol or Gatchinskye gates were built in the years 1777- 1782 on the edge of the Catherine Park, at the exit to the road leading to Gatchina. Empress Catherine II paid tribute to one of my favorites this monument in his lifetime as a sign of success led them to fight the epidemic of plague broke out in Moscow in 1771. On the front of the gate facing toward the Gatchina, in the frieze is the inscription, borrowed from the poetic messages to the general poet VI Maikov: “Orloff spared from trouble Moscow.” Another inscription, from the Catherine Park, tells more about the event.
