The Vorontsov Palace is a Baroque palace compound
which occupies a large parcel of land. The palace of 50
rooms was built at enormous expense by F.Rastrelli for Count
Mikhail Illarionovich Vorontsov, Empress Elizabeth’s chancellor and maternal relative. The palace
took 8 years to build, starting in 1749. In 1798-1800 a Catholic chapel is added to serve exiled French
aristocrats who resided in St.Petersburg at the turn of the 19th century. Since 1810 the Vorontsov
Palace has housed a succession of exclusive military schools, including the famous Page Corps (1810-
1918) and the Suvorov Military School (from 1955).
Cost: 400 rub per person
Number of participants: 30 persons maximum
Duration: 1 hour

02ND – 08TH JUNE 2014 JUVENTUS SOCCER SCHOOL RUSSIA STARTS IN
30TH JUNE – 06TH JULY ST. PETERSBURG
NAVY DAY St. Petersburg was founded as a port city and 25 July is the day when the city
celebrates its thousands of naval officers. Typically the celebrations take place
along the Neva near the Winter Palace and Admiralty where a whole flotilla of
warships decked in flags will be on display and the ships crews will be out
partying and meeting with friends and family. The historic naval base of
Kronshtadt in the north of the city will also have special parades and chances
to look around the warships. As usual and in spite of the obvious lack of
darkness at this time of year there will no doubt be a fireworks display! Expect
plenty of rowdiness.
