This blue and white palace is a unique monument to the Russian baroque style. It was the former official Summer residence of all Russian Emperors since Catherine I. The lands where the palace stands were originally presented by Peter the Great to his wife Catherine I, and the palace itself was named in her honour, although it was built on the order of their daughter Elisabeth.
The palace is surrounded by beautiful French and English style parks, and is richly decorated with gold inside. It is especially famous for the Amber Room, a study with all the walls adorned with natural amber.
Feel as if you were a guest of the Russian Emperor, dive into the atmosphere of festiveness walking through the halls of the Golden gallery, discover the dramatic story of the Amber room, and find out the Romanov`s dynasty secrets. All this and more awaits you at the Catherine Palace.
