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.
