Amusement Palace, Palace in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The Amusement Palace features stone walls with decorative white carvings across multiple levels, positioned between the Komendantskaya and Troitskaya towers.
Built in 1651 as residential chambers for boyar Ilya Miloslavsky, father-in-law of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the palace represents the last remaining boyar residence in the Kremlin.
The palace gained its name in 1672 when it became the location of Russia's first theatrical performances, marking the start of Russian theater traditions.
The palace currently functions as administrative offices for the Kremlin Commandant's Office and underwent restoration work focusing on its facades and interior spaces.
The building's narrow layout between the fortress wall and the tsar's residence required an arched passage through its center connecting northern and southern courtyards.
