Every Sunday at the walls of the Priory Palace in the park of the same name you can hear a noon shot from a cannon.
The Park Agency revives the traditions of the era of Paul I, when the best regiments of the Russian army arrived in Gatchina to conduct maneuvers established by the emperor. Here the tactics of occupying positions, shooting, bayonet attack were developed, artillery exercises were held separately. The great generals Bagration and Kutuzov participated in the maneuvers.
The gun is traditionally prepared by a knight of the Order of Malta.
