　　Situated just south of St Petersburg, the Russian imperial

residence of Tsarskoye Selo is now more than three hundred years

old. Tsarskoye Selo the Tsars Village was once a modest estate

housing a summer residence for Catherine I, second wife of Peter

the Great. The building now known as the Catherine Palace was

extensively rebuilt by Empress Elizabeth and then lavishly

refurbished by Catherine II, known as Catherine the Great. This

empresss love of art and decoration is evident in the sumptuous

interiors and in the extensive park, filled with fanciful

pavilions, bridges and monuments. Catherine also commissioned the

neoclassical Alexander Palace for her favourite grandson, the

future Alexander I; this later became home to the last tsar,

Nicholas II, and his family until their exile to Siberia. Occupied

by the Nazi forces in 1941, Tsarskoye Selo saw its treasures

plundered and many of its interiors left derelict. Fortunately,

some of its magnificent interiors survived the vicissitudes of

history, while others, such as the extravagant Amber Room, have

since been painstakingly restored to their former opulence. The

estate is not only a piece of art history but a living testimony to

the tastes and private passions of the Romanov family. Their

clothes and porcelain, their desks and bookshelves build an

intimate and involving portrait of life in imperial Russia.
