Ficquelmont Palace, Neoclassical palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia

The palace features rectangular structures with elegant porticos, pillars, and pediments, following strict neoclassical architectural principles established by Giacomo Quarenghi.

Built during the reign of Catherine II, the palace demonstrates the architectural transformation of Saint Petersburg under the influence of Italian design in the late 18th century.

The building represents the strong cultural connections between Italy and Russia, as exemplified through the work of Quarenghi, who became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

Located in central Saint Petersburg, the palace maintains its status as a federal cultural heritage site and stands among other significant architectural monuments of the period.

The palace serves as one of the few remaining examples of Quarenghi's residential designs in Saint Petersburg, displaying his interpretation of Palladian architectural principles.
