Two photos of the Summer Garden. The first is the end of the 60s of the XIX century. The second is our time.
If you look at the first photo, you can see that the paths of the garden are surrounded by a picket fence to save plantings from visitors. In modern photography, trellis lattices are also present. The sculptures that met the visitors changed. The columns covering the alley disappeared.

By the way, the historical question:
WHAT ARE THE PURPOSE OF THE SUMMER GARDEN ALLEY DISAPPEARED BY PILLARS?

We are waiting for answers in the comments, and feel free to repeat in the answers.

There are six days left before the opening of the Summer Garden.
