Palace of Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia, Neoclassical palace on English Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The palace features simple granite and brick facades with symmetrical bas reliefs, wrought iron details, and overlooks the Neva River from its central location.

Originally constructed between 1867 and 1872 for Emperor Alexander II's third son, the palace underwent significant modifications by architect Robert-Friedrich Meltzer in 1910.

The interiors display an array of styles including neo-gothic, rococo, and oriental influences, with the Moorish Study containing detailed decorative elements.

The palace operates daily except Sundays, offering guided tours that showcase the marble staircase, wooden paneling, and preserved historical elevators.

The building houses an extensive collection of fine porcelain while serving as a venue for concerts, lectures, and film screenings.
