VORONTSOV PALACE TOUR (Palace of Chancellor Vorontsov) Tuesday, 24 June 2014 – 12:00pm

(Sadovaya ulitsa)

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

If you are interested in attending the tour, reply to iwcstpete@gmail.com by Sunday, 15 June 2014.

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.
