Chaliapin grotto

Chaliapin`s grotto is located on the Golitsyn Trail, which begins on the Embankment of Novy Svet, and ends near the Juniper Grove. There is no reliable evidence that Chaliapin sang in this grotto, but it is certain that Duke Lev Golitsyn set tables for guests in this grotto and treated them to champagne, that`s why grotto used to be called Golitsyn`s Grotto.
