Vorontsov Palace
The palace building, originally owned by the Russian diplomat, statesman and Chancellor of the Russian Empire, Count Mikhail Vorontsov, is distinguished by rich interior decoration and facades, beautiful stucco and magnificent gilded carvings. From Sadovaya Street
Vorontsov Palace is separated by a massive cast-iron fence.
It is interesting that Count Vorontsov, although he was a very wealthy man, still had to refuse to participate in the construction, since the building with dozens of state halls and chic interiors turned out to be too expensive an enterprise.

Senate Palace
This building was built for 11 years since 1776 for Empress Catherine. The Senate was built "for the glorification of the Russian state."
Architect Matvey Kazakov created a real masterpiece of architecture in the classical style, and when the top officials did not believe that the dome with a diameter of 24.7 meters above the main hall was strong enough, Kazakov climbed up and stood on it for half an hour. But there is information that he was standing restlessly - jumping and stamping. When the architect came down, his colleagues greeted him with an ovation.
The Empress liked the palace so much that she gave the architect's wife her gloves.
