Catherine Palace and Park

Filled with 18th-century paintings and ornate rooms, this white and gold palace is surrounded by a 1400-acre park complete with fountains, bridges, the Agate Pavilion bathhouse and the Great Pond. The Palace also has a famous Amber Room, stolen by Nazi troops during WWII, but now recreated by Russian craftsmen.

The Catherine Palace is named after Catherine I, the wife of Peter the Great. Originally a modest two-storey building commissioned by Peter for Catherine in 1717, the Catherine Palace owes its awesome grandeur to their daughter, Empress Elizabeth, who chose Tsarskoye Selo as her chief summer residence. Starting in 1743, the building was reconstructed by four different architects. The building was to be built to compete with Versailles. The resultant palace, completed in 1756, is nearly 1km in circumference, with elaborately decorated blue-and-white facades featuring gilded atlantes. The interiors of the Catherine Palace are no less spectacular. Another place worth seeing. A beautiful palace and park complex.

The Pavlovsk Palace and Garden was a revelation. While the Catherine Palace buzzes with activity, the Pavlovsk Palace is an oasis of tranquility. We were told that the palace was built for Empress Catherine for her son, Paul when he was the heir apparent. The palace is not too ornate and gives the feeling that this was a royal family residence and not one built for formal, ceremonial purposes . The palace is set in a very green setting and is ideal for a relaxed visit far from the crowds
