Agate Rooms of Catherine Palace, Palace pavilion in Pushkin, Russia

The Agate Rooms feature walls decorated with semi-precious stones, marbles, and gilded bronze ornaments within the Cold Bath building of Catherine Palace.

Constructed between 1780 and 1787 under architect Charles Cameron, these rooms served as private apartments for Catherine the Great's relaxation and entertainment.

The interior design combines Russian craftsmanship with European neoclassical elements, displaying colored jasper panels and painted ceiling medallions.

Visitors need to purchase separate tickets from the main palace tour and join guided groups that depart at scheduled times throughout the day.

The rooms contain original furniture pieces from the 18th century, including tables made from Ural stones and decorated with micro-mosaics from Rome.
