The Winter Palace in St. Petersburg - in the past the main imperial palace of Russia, located at the address: Palace Square, 2 / Palace Embankment, 38. The current palace building (fifth) was built in 1754-1762 by the Italian architect B. F. Rastrelli in the style of a magnificent Elizabethan Baroque with elements of French Rococo in the interiors. Since Soviet times, the main exposition of the State Hermitage has been placed within the walls of the palace.
From the moment the construction was completed in 1762 to 1904, it was used as the official winter residence of the Russian emperors. In 1904, Nicholas II moved his permanent residence to the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoe Selo. From October 1915 to November 1917, the Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich Hospital worked in the palace. From July to November 1917, the Provisional Government was located in the palace. In January 1920, the State Museum of the Revolution was opened in the palace, which shared the building with the State Hermitage until 1941.
The Winter Palace and Palace Square form the most beautiful architectural ensemble of the modern city and are one of the main objects of domestic and international tourism.
