Visit St Petersburg Catherine Palace with Amber Room Tour

 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 authorities at the Catherine Palace tried to hide the national treasure under wallpaper to keep the invading Nazi army's art-crazed robbers at bay. It was all for naught, however, as the Nazis quickly filled in the containers with amber panels and returned it to Germany, where it was triumphantly displayed at Königsberg Castle. Now nobody knows where Amber Rooms is situated …

In the meanwhile, work on the lost treasure began in 1979, but it wasn't until 2003 when the new version was shown. The reconstructed Amber Room is an exact copy of original, prewar one.
