King's Village. Catherine's Palace. Amber room.

The imperial residence Tsarskoye Selo, founded under Catherine I, flourished under her daughter - Elizabeth Petrovna, when the great architect Rastrelli builds the striking Catherine Palace, in which he places the amber cabinet presented to Peter I - the famous Amber Room. The next hostess, Catherine II, improves the residence to her liking. Court architect Cameron echoes the tastes of the Empress builds new masterpieces there. Catherine Palace and Park is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Attempts to destroy this crown of palace and park art by the occupiers turned out to be only a challenge for Soviet and Russian restorers. Their work continues to this day.
