  If you are looking for the St Petersburg Catherine Palace with Amber Room tour, then you should first know a little about the history of the Amber Room. It is one of history's great lost treasures, once captivated visitors to the czar's Winter House in St. Petersburg, where more than six tons of amber were placed against mirrors and gold leaf into an immense, golden gallery. The area once known as Prussia was the world's largest producer of amber for most of history, and it is still linked with the region today. The golden-colored fossilized tree sap may be found all over the world, but it has long been prized and sold in Eastern Europe, dating back to Roman times. The original amber panels , which were designed between 1701 and 1711, were presented as a gift to Peter the Great, then relocated to Russia and extended to an estimated 180 square feet. It was transported once more in 1755 to the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo, near St. Petersburg. During WWII, frantic a...

The Church of our Savior on the Spilt Blood is an icon of St Petersburg standing on the bank of the Griboedov canal and covered with 7000 sq. m. of colorful mosaics; it was erected on the place where Russian Tsar Alexander II was killed by terrorists. The church was constructed by Alfred Parland in the style of Russian churches from the 16th and 17th centuries. It contrasts sharply (some may say jarringly) with its surroundings of Baroque, Classical, and Modernist architecture. The Church of our Savior on the Spilt Blood was in neglect gradually ruining for long decades of Soviet power. They opened it in 1975 only after a long restoration which, actually, is not finished yet. The church's spectacular re-opening in August 1997, when hundreds of delighted tourists rushed in, ended decades of deterioration and finally repair. The project was originally estimated to cost 3.6 million rubles, but it ended up costing 4.6 million rubles due to the rich mosaic collection. The murder of Al...
