Shuvalov Palace, Neoclassical palace at Fontanka River Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The white palace features symmetrical columns, ornate stonework, and spans across two interconnected buildings with a unified facade design at Fontanka Embankment 21.
Built in 1790 for Count Vorontsov, the palace passed to the Naryshkin family in 1799 and later to the Shuvalov family, who maintained ownership until 1917.
