From travels in Russia and Europe, a certain number of photos of Baroque buildings have accumulated:
St. Petersburg
Winter Palace, the main residence of the Russian Tsars. The dominant building of the main square of St. Petersburg - Palace. The magnificent architecture in the style of Russian baroque, embodied by the Italian B.F. Rastrelli, has been pleasing the townspeople since 1762. After the fire of 1837, most of the interiors were destroyed by fire and the palace was completely reconstructed.
At the moment, the building is given under the exposition of the State Hermitage Museum, but the museum itself occupies not only this palace.

Smolny Cathedral
Holy Cross Cathedral
Holy Cross Cathedral (Cossack), Holy Cross Church Yamskaya - at the intersection of Ligovsky Avenue and Obvodny Canal. The domes are already shining, and the bottom is still in the woods.

Smolny Cathedral and red tulips in the square in front of it. By the way, you can go up to the belfry for a moderate fee and enjoy the views that are opening up (also hear about the sights that stretch below).

The main building of the Admiralty office complex ( Kazan, Karl Marx St., 17). Petrovsky baroque - the last thing I expected to meet in Kazan.
