Kamenny Island Palace, Neoclassical palace on Kamenny Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The palace features symmetrical wings, six grand columns at its entrance portico, and a wide granite staircase facing the Malaya Nevka River.

Catherine II commissioned the palace construction in 1776, which was initially supervised by architect Yury Felten and later completed by Giacomo Quarenghi in 1782.

The palace currently functions as the Academy of Talents, providing educational programs and artistic training for young students in Saint Petersburg.

Located at 1 Malaya Nevka Embankment, the palace can be reached via the Chernaya Rechka metro station and accepts visitors during scheduled events.

The building's П-shaped layout incorporates two extended wings connected to the main structure, creating an enclosed courtyard space within the complex.
