In 1732 — 1735 years architect F.-B.Rastrelli has constructed an imperial palace, having reconstructed private residences of Petrovsky time existing here. This construction is completely reconstructed by it in 1754 — 1762 the Crosswise court yard close the cases turned by magnificent Facades on the north, the south, the West and the east. East facade nowadays hides the building of the Small Hermitage built in 1764 — 1775 Three facades of a three-storyed palace accessible to a review have a various composition. They are unusually solemn and enriched by two circles of three-quarter — columns, decorative frames of windows, eaves, a balustrade with statues and vases. Despite a catastrophic fire 1837 during which time all premises — of a palace were lost, facades have remained and are bright samples of Baroque style of the middle of XVIII century Colouring of facades in three colours — a rich colour of walls (green), white columns, horizontal draughts and platbands and dark (olive) capitals, bases and cartouches — prominent feature — of style. The variety of details does not break composite integrity. A facade turned on the area, most solemn. Its axis is underlined acting as a projection and three arches of entrance to a court yard. Domestic facades are finished in the same character. A front entrance in a building — in the middle of a facade turned to Neva (the Jordanian entrance). Presently the basic input for tourists is from an internal court yard to which it is possible to get with Palace Square.

Only three premises were restored in character of Baroque style: the Main (Jordanian) ladder, the Big and Small churches. Smart — halls are solved in style of classicism. Some were whenever possible recreated from them — in the former kind conceived by architects D.Kvarengi, K.I.Rossi, O.Monferranom. In ground floor galleries Rastrelli`s furnish has remained.
