The Catherine Palace

The Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg was commissioned by Empress Elizabeth in 1752 and later expanded by Catherine the Great, who named it after herself, turning it into a summer residence of rococo splendor. The estate covered 300 hectares.
It had the famous Amber Room, a chamber entirely lined with amber panels which weighed over 6 tons.
The blue and white facade, adorned with gilded details, impresses visitors with its Baroque splendor, evoking Versailles.
In the past the Great Hall with crystal chandeliers and parquet floors was used for official ceremonies for European royalty.
Since its restoration after Nazi looting in World War II, it has been visited by over a million guests annually.
The surrounding gardens are more beautiful than the palace itself for many nature lovers, with pavilions, ponds, and themed grottos designed by Francesco Rastrelli.
