After all, first of all, every Winter Palace was a home for the royal family. Their children grew up and were brought up there, important events took place, sometimes not only joyful, but also sad.
Today, most of us know only one Winter Palace – the one on Palace Square, in the very center of St. Petersburg, but in fact there were many more.
On the walk, we'll talk about failed plans and fulfilled hopes. We'll find out who didn't want to live in the shadow of their famous relative, and who inherited a real masterpiece. Let's discuss how our rulers treated their home, and with whom fate played a cruel joke, never allowing them to enjoy the long-awaited home.
Let's get acquainted with the architects who executed the cunning plans of the rulers. Let's recall one of the most terrible tragedies in the royal family. We will find out which of the emperors tried to hide the culprits and why.
Let's try to feel ourselves in the place of modern restorers and feel the complexity of their decisions. Let's rejoice at the incredible find of the XX century. Let's count how many Winter Palaces there were in St. Petersburg. And as a result, we will realize that we want to learn even more about the Romanovs.
