Italian Palace, Classical palace in Kronstadt, Russia
The Italian Palace, constructed of stone and brick, features symmetrical wings, large rectangular windows, and ornate architectural details across its three-story facade.
Alexander Menshikov, the governor of Saint Petersburg, commissioned architect Johann Friedrich Braunstein to build this palace between 1720 and 1724.
The palace transformed into a naval educational center in 1771, training thousands of Russian maritime officers including notable explorers Krusenstern and Bellingshausen.
The building currently houses multiple cultural institutions, including the Baltic Fleet Theater and several military administrative offices.
The Italian pond, constructed between 1717 and 1727, connects to the Merchant Harbor through a small canal in front of the palace.
