VENUE LOCATION & ACCESS

Address:

Millionaya str, 5/1

Marble Palace is one of the first

Neoclassical palaces in Saint

Petersburg, Russia. It is situated

between the Field of Mars and Palace

Quay, slightly to the east from Winter

Palace.

EXTERIOR/ENTRANCE The palace was built by Count Grigory

Orlov, the favorite of Empress Catherine the

Great and the most powerful Russian

nobleman of the 1760s. The palace takes its

name from its opulent decoration in a wide

variety of polychrome marbles. A rough-

grained Finnish granite on the ground floor

is in subtle contrast to polished pink

Karelian marble of the pilasters and white

Urals marble of capitals and festoons.

Panels of veined bluish gray Urals marble

separate the floors, while Tallinn dolomite

was employed for ornamental urns. In all, 32

disparate shades of marble were used to decorate the palace.

INTERIOR The Main Stairs are decorated with the grey

marble of the Urals and the steps are made of the

dark green Karelian sandstone. In the centre of

the ceiling of the stairs, the plafond The

Judgement of Paris.

The stone decorations of the Marble Room strike

with their many colors, smartness and opulence,

their perfectly worked marble, selected and

arranged with impeccable style. The Marble

Room is finished with seven kinds of marble

originating from Greece, Italy, the Urals, Karelia,

and Siberia. The room is decorated with bass

reliefs by F. Shubin and M. Kozlovsky as well as

with the plafond The Triumph of Venus by S.

Torelli.
