Every Sunday, a knight of the Order of Malta enters the courtyard of the Priory Palace and very solemnly fires a cannon. This tradition dates back to the XVIII century, when Emperor Paul I arranged military parades in Gatchina. The best regiments of the Russian army arrived here, and commanders Bagration and Kutuzov participated in the maneuvers.
This year, the restoration of the Priory Park under the project "ASM Group" will begin.
