Tsarskoye Selo, Palace complex in Pushkin, Russia

The Catherine Palace dominates the complex with its blue and white facade, extending over 325 meters in length with gilded domes and decorative statues.

The residence began as a small estate given by Peter the Great to Catherine I in 1708, later expanding into a grand imperial complex under Empress Elizabeth.

The Catherine Palace houses the restored Amber Room, featuring panels made from natural amber in various shades, creating intricate mosaic designs and patterns.

The palace complex opens daily except Tuesdays and the last Monday of each month, with guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservation.

The first railroad line in Russia connected Saint Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo in 1837, marking a significant advancement in Russian transportation infrastructure.
