Lonely Planet review for Catherine the Great Statue

An enormous statue of Catherine the Great stands amid the chess, backgammon and sometimes even mah jong players that crowd the benches of this airy square. The statue was created by Carlo Rossi in the 1820s and 1830s. At the Empress' heels are some of her renowned statesmen, including her lovers Orlov, Potemkin and Suvorov.
