St George's Hall and Apollo Room of the Winter Palace, Throne room in Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The grand St George's Hall features white Carrara marble walls, extending 800 square meters with intricate golden decorations along its perimeter.

Following the destructive fire of 1837, architect Vasily Stasov undertook the restoration of St George's Hall, implementing neoclassical design elements.

The hall witnessed the opening ceremony of the First State Duma in 1906, marking the first time common citizens entered this imperial space.

Visitors can access St George's Hall and Apollo Room through guided tours of the State Hermitage Museum from Tuesday to Sunday.

The Apollo Room connects the main hall to the Hermitage galleries through a ceiling decorated with detailed stucco work from the 1830s.
