MARBLE PALACE
VENUE in St. Petersburg
VENUE LOCATION & ACCESS
Address:
Millionaya str, 5/1
Marble Palace is one of the first
Neoclassical palaces in Saint
Petersburg, Russia. It is situated
between the Field of Mars and Palace
Quay, slightly to the east from Winter
Palace.
EXTERIOR/ENTRANCE The palace was built by Count Grigory
Orlov, the favorite of Empress Catherine the
Great and the most powerful Russian
nobleman of the 1760s. The palace takes its
name from its opulent decoration in a wide
variety of polychrome marbles. A rough-
grained Finnish granite on the ground floor
is in subtle contrast to polished pink
Karelian marble of the pilasters and white
Urals marble of capitals and festoons.
Panels of veined bluish gray Urals marble
separate the floors, while Tallinn dolomite
was employed for ornamental urns. In all, 32
disparate shades of marble were used to decorate the palace.
INTERIOR The Main Stairs are decorated with the grey
marble of the Urals and the steps are made of the
dark green Karelian sandstone. In the centre of
the ceiling of the stairs, the plafond The
Judgement of Paris.
The stone decorations of the Marble Room strike
with their many colors, smartness and opulence,
their perfectly worked marble, selected and
arranged with impeccable style. The Marble
Room is finished with seven kinds of marble
originating from Greece, Italy, the Urals, Karelia,
and Siberia. The room is decorated with bass
reliefs by F. Shubin and M. Kozlovsky as well as
with the plafond The Triumph of Venus by S.
Torelli.
