I am not sure if pictues of the Yousoupov Palace on the Fontanka  have been posted.  Anyway, here are a couple of photographs I took in October.  This lesser-known palace is located near the Fontanka on Sadovaya and Rimsky-Korsakov Streets in St. Peteresburg.  Interesting.

The most amazing thing is that palace is marked on the map of the city as a Yusupov's. In fact house was sold in 1810 by the family. That's why we have many curiosities on it. Many people and tourist buses goes to that fake route instead of  the museum-palace on the Moyka river (their real former residence).
