— Friends, let’s take a few minutes to step into one of St. Petersburg’s true gems — the Yusupov Palace! ✨
From 1830 to 1919, five generations of the Yusupov family lived in the palace on the Moika. They were among the wealthiest figures of pre-revolutionary Russia, tracing their lineage back to the Nogai ruler Yusuf.
The grand ceremonial staircase, the bedrooms, and the drawing rooms — musical, Moorish, and Henry II — along with the study and its library, are striking examples of luxury, refined taste, and immense wealth. You can’t help but feel that everything here is almost too much. Nowhere is this more evident than in the private (!) home theater. 🎭
