Yelagin Palace is a Palladian villa on Yelagin Island in Saint Petersburg, which served as a royal summer palace during the reign of Alexander I. The villa was designed for Alexander's mother, Maria Fyodorovna, by the architect Carlo Rossi. It was constructed in 1822 on the site of an earlier mansion built during the rule of Catherine the Great. The house was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt and currently houses a museum.
In the heart of Gießen stands the Old Castle, an impressive moated castle dating back to the 14th century. Directly adjacent, the historic Botanical Garden invites visitors to linger and uniquely combines history with nature.

Egia-Kapai Synagogue (also Yegiya Kapay) was built in 1911, Yevpatoria, Crimea, Russia.
This is a functioning synagogue and at the same time a religious monument of history and culture. There is also a Jewish cultural and ethnographic center with handicraft production, and nearby is the Yoskin Kot cafe-museum. Perhaps the most interesting thing for tourists and believers here is the "wailing wall". Next to the wall, you can write a note with a wish and put it in the gap between the masonry, from where it will then be delivered to Jerusalem to the Wailing Wall. And in the souvenir shop at the synagogue you can buy a red thread from Jerusalem as a gift or a souvenir.

St Petersburg-Vitebsky is a railway station terminal in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Formerly known as St Petersburg-Tsarskoselsky station because its first line led to the suburban royal residences town of Tsarskoye Selo, it was the first railway station to be built in Saint Petersburg and the whole of the Russian Empire (while its present-day building is much newer). Later, with considerable extension of its lines, the station was renamed after a much farther destination - Vitebsk, a city in Belarus.
Construction of new building started in 1901 and lasted for three years. Stanislaw Brzozowski gave the new two-storey station an ornate frontage in an assortment of historical styles, with decorative reliefs, floriated Jugendstil detailing, outsize semicircular windows and two regular features of 19th-century train stations: a pseudo-Renaissance dome and a square clocktower.
However, it was Sima Minash's opulent Art Nouveau interior that established the building as the most ornate of St Petersburg stations. Minash was responsible for the sweeping staircases, foyer with stained glass and spacious halls boasting a series of painted panels that chronicle the history of Russia's first railway. The building's soaring arches and expanses of glass proclaimed the architect's familiarity with advanced construction techniques of the West.
