The Belosselsky Belozersky Palace is a Neo-Baroque palace in St. Petersburg located on Nevsky Prospect adjacent to the Fontana River...
The present palace was constructed between 1846-1848...The palace was put up for sale around the time of the engagement of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia to Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and the Rhine in 1883. The interiors photographs are from this time..
Following there assassination of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the Duchess moved from this lavish palace, setting up the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent. The palace passed to Grand Duke Dmitri.
During the First World War, from January 1916 until January 1918, the palace was the base of the Anglo-Russian Hospital, a voluntary British Red Cross hospital set up to treat Russian soldiers. It was staffed by British doctors and nurses, and led by Lady Muriel Paget and Lady Sybil Grey....

Interiors of the Mansion of Baron A. L. Stieglitz
by Luigi Premazzi, 1870s.
Here I present an album of watercolours of the Mansion by the Italian artist Luigi Premazzi, together with photographs of the current state of the building today….
Alexander Ludvigovich Stieglitz (1814–1884) was a Russian philanthropist and financier. He was the first governor of the State Bank of the Russian Empire, known today as the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
Stieglitz was born in Saint Petersburg to Baron Ludwig von Stieglitz who was a founder of the banking-house Stieglitz and Co. After completing his education at the University of Dorpat in what is now Tartu, Estonia, he entered the state services as a member of the Manufacture council of the Ministry of Finances of the Russian Empire.
After the death of his father, Stieglitz inherited the banking-house and succeeded as a banker to Emperor Alexander II.
The Mansion on the English Embankment, No. 68, was designed by the architect Alexander Krakau . Construction began in 1859 and was completed in 1862 in a distinctive Florentine-Renaissance style. In his design, Krakau used the walls of two houses previously located here, one of which was built in 1716 by the ship builder Ivan Nemtsov and was the first stone house on the English Embankment.
After the death of Stieglitz in 1884, the mansion was inherited by his adopted daughter, Nadezhda Polovtsova, the illegitimate child of Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. She sold the property to the Treasury in 1887. The mansion then became the palace of Alexander II’s youngest son, Grand Duke Pavel Alexandrovich who was shot by the Bolsheviks in 1919. For a long time after the palace stood empty.. Eventually it became home to various Soviet institutions, and recently it was acquired by St. Petersburg State University.

Константиновский дворец (Большой Стрельнинский дворец) — памятник архитектуры XVIII века, формирующий дворцово-парковый ансамбль в Стрельне.
с 2003 года — Государственный комплекс «Дворец конгрессов». Комплекс находится на южном берегу Финского залива на реках Стрелка и Кикенка
Konstantinovsky Palace (Big Strelninsky Palace) - an architectural monument of the XVIII century, forming a palace and park ensemble in Strelna, since 2003 - the State Complex Palace of Congresses
The garden and palace complex was formed in the XVIII - first half of XIX centuries. Until 1917, the estate belonged to the Russian imperial family. The first owner was Peter the Great, at the end of the 18th century Strelna became a private Grand Princely possession - in 1797 Paul I presented it to his second son, Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich, and his name is still associated with the palace today.
Following the October revolution, the palace fell into decay: it was handed over to a child labour commune, then to a secondary school.
During the Great Patriotic War, the Nazis occupied the building and established a naval base nearby in Strelna.
After the ravages of German occupation, only the palace walls were left standing; all interior decoration was gone. No effective restoration had been undertaken until 2001 when The Russian President ordered the palace to be converted into a presidential residence in Saint Petersburg.
Horvat Minnim (Khirbat al-Minya) - an Umayyad-built palace in the eastern Galilee, Israel,
חורבת מנים, הידועה גם בשמה הערבי ח'רבת אל-מִנְיֵה, היא אתר ארכאולוגי השוכן בבקעת גינוסר, דרומית לעין שבע וצפונית לקיבוץ גינוסר, בצפון מערב הכנרת. האתר מכיל ממצאים ממספר תקופות, שהחשוב שבהם הוא ארמון אומיי. האתר ושטח סביב (39.7 דונם סהכ) הוכרז גן לאומי ב-28 בפברואר 2002, אך אינו מוסדר לקבלת מבקרים.
Horvat Minnim is located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee in the rich Ginnosar Valley. Attention was attracted to Horvat Minnim in the second half of the 1 9th century when scholars and pilgrims began to cross Palestine in search of identifiable biblical sites. Originally, scholars identified Minnim as Capernaum until the discovery of Capernaum farther north and the excavation of the main part of the site of Minnim. In 1932 excavations at Horvat Minnim were begun and continued for five years by German archaeologists. The German archaeologists revealed an almost square building with round corner towers and a semicircular tower in the middle of each wall, except for the eastern wall where there was a monumental domed gateway. Along the exterior walls, the excavation uncovered a mosque, a throne room, and a group of five rooms with mosaic floors with geometric designs. The impressive large courtyard displayed the unique form characteristic of Umayyad palaces of the period. An inscription found in secondary use, which mentioned the name of the Umayyad caliph el-Walid (705-715), dated the palace and the mosque to the Umayyad period. The sounding made in work on the western part of the palace in 1959 established the site's stratigraphy and a second major occupation of Minnim in Mameluke times when there was a major halt on the caravan route from Egypt to Syria. The sounding also uncovered a mosaic floor in the vaulted hall on the west side, indicating the existence of official rooms as well as in the southern parts of the palace. Only a few segments of the floor have been uncovered. Horvat Minnim was built in the Umayyad period in a rich agricultural area and it was probably the palace of a princely landowner. It must certainly be connected with a no-longer extant bathhouse from the Byzantine period, about 200 meters to the northwest
