Soon, you will be able to take a look into the fascinating world of Russian royalty. A former palatial home of a Russian tsar is set to open for visitors next summer, but before that, it will see renovation costing two billion rubles. The palace in question is called the Alexander Palace, and is located in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg.
The palace was built by architect Giacomo Quarenghi between 1792 and 1796. The Alexander Palace is actually located on the outskirts of Saint Petersburg, which was actually the former imperial capital. The renovation work for the palace has been going on since 2012, and now the first eight rooms will open in the summer of 2020. As per reports, the rooms that are going to open are Mauve Boudoir, which was the tsar’s favourite room, along with the bathing chamber that has a Moorish-style design.
