Vorontsov Palace, Baroque palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The grand mansion features symmetrical wings, formal gardens, and elaborate stone decorations on its white and gold facade across three floors.
The palace, completed in 1757 under architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, became the residence of Count Mikhail Vorontsov during Russia's imperial period.
The building represents Russian nobility architecture with its combination of ceremonial halls, reception rooms, and private chambers arranged in traditional palace layout.
The palace stands near Sadovaya Street in central Saint Petersburg, with regular guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.
The structure incorporates direct architectural influences from Italian baroque palaces through its ornate window frames, pilasters, and decorative elements.
