Main staircase of the Catherine Palace, Decorative staircase in Catherine Palace, Pushkin, Russia
The main staircase features ornate stone railings, gold-plated details, and white marble steps leading to the palace's grand reception halls.
Architect Ippolit Monighetti rebuilt the central staircase during the 1860s reconstruction, integrating it with Rastrelli's earlier palace designs.
The staircase served as the ceremonial entrance point where Russian nobility entered state functions and formal gatherings at the Catherine Palace.
Visitors access the staircase through guided tours, which operate daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM between June and September.
The staircase incorporates 96 marble steps, connecting three floors with massive windows that illuminate the entire space with natural light.
