This opulent Great Hall was designed by Rastrelli for Empress Elizabeth 1st, (daughter of Catherine 1 and Peter the Great). It is filled with gilded gold mirrors and the ceiling is a painting of the Triumph of Russia.
This palace upon completion was a baroque masterpiece and was 300 meters (980 feet long) and the longest palace in the world. In 2002 President Putin approved allocation of 140 kilograms of gold for restoration.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
