SAINT-PETERSBURG - WINTER PALACE (HERMITAGE MUSEUM)

Last one today. Sent by Polina consular assistant (Australian Consulate in Russia). Thanks a lot!

We can see a drawing of Winter Palace. 

St. Petersburg's most famous building, the Winter Palace not only physically dominates Palace Square and the south embankment of the Neva River, but also plays a central political, symbolic, and cultural role in the three-century history of the city.
