Catherine Palace, Palace in Lefortovo District, Moscow, Russia
The Catherine Palace extends along Krasnokadetsky Lane with a red-colored facade featuring 16 Corinthian columns made of gray stone.
Empress Catherine II commissioned the palace construction in 1773, with architects Antonio Rinaldi and Karl Blank leading the project until its completion in 1796.
The palace interior reflects the transition from Russian Baroque to Neoclassical style, displaying the architectural evolution during Catherine II's reign.
The Catherine Palace now functions as the Combined Arms Academy of the Russian Armed Forces, housing military education facilities.
The palace became Moscow's largest building upon completion, costing the imperial treasury 3.6 million rubles in late 18th century currency.
