Russia 🇷🇺, Moscow, Petrovsky Travel Palace

Petrovsky Travel Palace in Moscow — a monument of Russian Neo—Gothic architecture - was built in the 1776-1780-ies by decree of Catherine II. The building served as a temporary residence for the nobility traveling from St. Petersburg to Moscow. In addition to its practical function, the palace had a symbolic character — its construction was timed to coincide with the victory in the Russian-Turkish war.

From the moment of its foundation to the present day, the Petrovsky Palace has undergone many changes, but today it is reopened to guests: on the second floor of the main building there is a luxury boutique hotel, on the ground floor there is a museum. The architectural ensemble of the XVIII century oversees the Reception House of the Moscow City Hall and high-level guests often stay in the palace.
