St. Petersburg is a city of mysticism and secrets. Visit the building with a unique architectural structure and internal composite design. There is no analogues so far in Russia. I convinced me everyday guide Lyudmila.
In the first, being a guest of the Northern Capital. I wanted to see and see everything immediately, but this idea was not realized. I had to filter the list of attractions. Lyudmila selected basic, and strict convincing tone sent my look at the brochure with the Yusupov Palace. Having said that this building is worth spent excursion money and my precious time. And you know, she was right.
Area information Palace - Cent Peter, Washing Street. Handing to the goal, you see the giant pillar of the barded zooak - visitors. But entering the room, the crowd quickly dissipates, going to wander on the hallways of the palace. To go on this excursion without a guide in the summer months there is no point. You just do not get inside. Tickets are reappeared by excursion groups, and all the accustomed, as a rule, are already busy. Excursion aimed more on adult perception. Therefore, to lead the children here. 700 rub. With a person - the cost of a review with a guide.
We in the storytellers got a young lady with a paracted fragrance of perfume and a quiet thoughtful voice tone. When she spoke, silence reigned in the group.
Elena led us up the stairs, describing the palace sizes. The story of the richest Yusupovsky family began at the time of the reign of Peter I. Prince Nikolai Borisovich Yusupov was a famous collector and a connoisseur of masterpiece art. While in the royal grace, he was allowed to decorate his dwelling with the best of the best doors of the creativity of great artists and artisans of All Russia. The Yusupovsky Palace was not just not inferior with the status of the Hermitage, but somewhere surpassed him. There is an oriental-style room here and in African, and in Italian. Each room has its own distinctive history.
I was just amazed by this fact. Traveling a lot in Russia, I saw this for the first time. Artifacts from all over the world decorate the walls of this majestic building.
But these are all the flowers. The most interesting starts when you get down to the palace basements. So-called, yusupovskiy toy. Updated here. You, as it should be shirling from the coldness and gloominess of the atmosphere. You imagine yourself at the subject of the subject, and involuntarily cold sweat stands on the face. Here are some of the torture guns.
The guide leads you further. There you can see rooms with wax figures. This is Rasputin and his killer. Here is recreated the day of the killing of the prince of the minion. His dispute with Felix Yusupov. The same table, the same cups with tea and cakes with arsenic. Eye, which Rasputin, why not died? Elena very accurately and enthusiastically described us the situation. The first shot, escape Rasputin and his painful death in the courtyard of the manor.
Coming out from the excursion, I seemed to have become an accomplice of the events of the long-lasting years. The royal crime flashed past the pleate of events told by the guide.
