Palace of Catherine II by Rastrelli:


Pushkin and a cat


Room of Catherine's palace:

Which room is that last one?

this is part of the throne room

I'm sorry vladm, but i had always thought that room was the ballroom.

Mazukov, you are partially right about other name. But, name as throne room, for my understanding latest modern books reference movement. Original name, according to Vilchkovsky - "the Great Hall".



But sorry, I do not recollect any ballroom at Catherine Palace.

The Catherine Palace never had a real ballroom. These rooms were used for dining, and other entertainments, also as a Ballroom. The Palace also did not have a main staircase until the mid 19th century.
