Kadriorg Palace, Tallinn, Estonia
Today we visited Kadriorg Palace which was commissioned by Peter the Great of Russia for his second wife, Catherine I in 1718.
Unfortunately, Peter did not live to see the completion of his summer palace and Catherine lost all interest in it after his death. The lovely roman Baroque palace is surrounded by a garden of fountains, hedges, and flowerbeds, modeled on Versailles. Today the interior of the palace is an art gallery filled with paintings and art objects from Russia and the rest of Europe.
