Yelagin Palace, Neoclassical palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The three-story palace features a central dome, grand staircases, spacious halls, and ornate decorations with ancient-style elements such as Corinthian columns and porticos.
In 1818, Emperor Alexander I purchased the estate for his mother Maria Feodorovna and commissioned architect Carlo Rossi to reconstruct the entire palace complex.
The palace interior displays collections of art glass, porcelain, embroidery, and metal crafts that represent Russian decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The palace operates as a museum with guided tours, hosts wedding ceremonies, and organizes costume balls where children can dress in period attire.
Cast iron lions guard the central staircase, while the oval hall contains caryatids and Ionic columns demonstrating the refined architectural details of imperial Russia.
