One of the few places where children are educated for free and of high quality. Excellent location, architecture, transport for every taste) the most important bonus is the Mirror camp.

Was on an excursion in this palace, visited, so to speak, "inner chambers". What to say? I am delighted! Firstly, this is one of the oldest buildings on Nevsky Prospekt, construction began in 1741! Secondly, a lot of authentic things have survived here, if you take into account the history of our country, when the Bolsheviks who came to power plundered everything - one wooden library preserved in the original with authentic literature from the time of Alexander is worth a lot! There you will see the mirrors in which Pushkin himself looked when he was summoned to see Nicholas l, you will learn about all the stages of the balls - what they ate, where they danced, what they played ... But you can't tell everything! You'd better go on the excursion yourself!

The Anichkov Palace, a former imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, stands at the intersection of Nevsky Avenue and the Fontanka River. The palace, situated on the plot formerly owned by Antonio de Vieira, takes its name from the nearby Anichkov Bridge across the Fontanka. Designed for the Empress Elizabeth of Russia in a dazzling Baroque style, the palace came to be known as the most imposing private residence of the Elizabethan era. Some suggest architects Bartolomeo Rastrelli and Mikhail Zemtsov were responsible for the design, though it's yet to be substantiated. The main frontage faces the river and was originally connected to it by a Canal. Construction works continued for thirteen years and, when finally finished in 1754, the palace was presented by the Empress to her favourite and likely spouse, Count Aleksey Razumovsky. After his death, the palace reverted to the crown, only to be donated by Catherine the Great of Russia to her own favourite, Prince Potemkin, in 1776. The architect Ivan Starov was charged with extensive renovations of the palace in the newly-fashionable Neoclassical style, which was effected in 1778 and 1779. Simultaneously a regular park was laid out by an English garden architect, William Hould. Upon Potemkin's demise, the palace was restored to the crown and adapted to accommodate Her Imperial Majesty's Cabinet. The last major structural additions were made in the reign of Alexander I, with Quarenghi's construction of the Imperial Cabinet along Nevsky Avenue. The latter structure was formulated in a rigorous Neoclassical style and many people feel that it doesn't complement Rastrelli's original work. Three year later, Alexander I bestowed the palace on his sister, Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna of Russia – she was later the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin by marriage. Several architects worked on the edifice since then, and its interiors were continuously refurbished.
