Tsaritsyno (Russian: Царицыно, IPA: [tsɐˈrʲitsɨnə], lit. 'Tsaritsa's property') is a palace museum and park reserve in the south of Moscow.
It was founded in 1775 as the summer residence of Empress Catherine II, but the construction remained incomplete. For most of its history, it was a half-abandoned park with picturesque ruins. In the 2000s, the palace was restored according to the original plans. Today, it is a museum complex and a leisure place for Muscovites and tourists.
