forms the focus of the palace tour.

their residences to Peter the Great's new northern capital

and the Tsar was forced to issue a decree banning to build

elsewhere in the country, so as to ensure that the nation's

wealth and construction skills were transferred to St.

Petersburg.

of the most beautiful examples of classicism style

as the Palace on the Moika River where Grigory Rasputin

was murdered in 1916.
