Abstract

The historical Tsarskoye Selo district of St. Petersburg province is one of the interesting phenomena of urban planning and cultural development of Russia. The article considers only one of the lines of the formation of the county - the development of multi-confessional temple-building on its territory as part of the improvement of a single territorial-landscape system over six chronological stages: up to 1703; 1703-1779; 1780-1800; 1801-1836; 1837-1900; 1901-1917 As you know, temple architecture has not only powerful sacred-semantic components, but also reflects the most important architectural-figurative and urban-territorial aspects. Until 1917, it was the temples and the accompanying buildings and structures of various faiths that accumulated many features of territorial and cultural centers. Thus, forming a special multi-temple framework throughout the county, wider - in the province. The identification of this historical framework and the definition of its features within the framework of a single county was the topic of this article.
