The Winter Palace was home for some of the greatest Russian Tsars beginning with Peter III. The Palace was built for Empress Elisabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. Sadly, Elisabeth died before completion of her palace.

Baroque Masterpiece

It's very impressive. Three stories high, and consuming an entire one square city block, the palace has 1,945 windows,1,057 rooms and 1,987 doors. The playful forms of the windows and door frames, the Corinthian columns and an abundance of statues and vases on the roof display the granduer that is typical of the Baroque style.
