Alexander Palace

The Alexander Palace (Russian: Александровский дворец) is a former imperial residence near the town of Tsarskoye Selo in Russia, on a plateau about 30 miles (48 km) south (around 30 minutes by train) from the erstwhile [imperial capital city of Saint Petersburg. It is known[by whom?] as the favourite residence of the last Russian Emperor (Tsar/Czar), Nicholas II (1868–1918, reigned 1894–1917), and of his imperial family; it served as their initial place of imprisonment after the first of two Russian Revolutions in February of 1917 that overthrew the Romanov during World War I (1914–1918). The Alexander Palace is situated in the Alexander Park, not far from the Catherine Park and the larger, more elaborate Catherine Palace, begun in 1717 by the Tsarina Catherine (later empress-consort and then empress-regnant as Catherine I (r. 1725–1727)) and significantly expanded by the Empress Catherine the Great (r. 1762–1796). As of 2020 the Alexander Palace is undergoing renovation as a state museum housing relics of the former imperial dynasty.
