The Mariinsky Palace. The Monument to Nicholas I
The presentation on the topic "The Mariinsky Palace. The Monument to Nicholas I" was created as illustrative material for a practical guide for exploring the sights of St. Petersburg by M.A. Guts...
We continue to introduce you to the sights of the British capital. The residence of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain is one of those places that you must visit. This, as the British say, is “a must-see,” especially for those who are visiting the capital of the country for the first time.
The palace itself is located deep in the park; outwardly it is quite modest. According to one of the architects who participated in the design of the building, “the crown of England does not require such splendor. Foreign countries may make ornaments, but England should be proud of its simplicity."
In general, the palace is a small autonomous state in which there is a police department, a post office, a hospital and many other institutions that ensure the functioning of the palace and the royal family.
Here are just a few impressive numbers:
The palace has 755 rooms, including 52 royal bedrooms, 188 guest and staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. Two employees work full time to oversee the 300 hours of residence.
One of the important architectural details of the building is famous balcony. It is from here that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and members of the royal family greet their subjects during the festivities.
Tourists coming to London are in luck. Part of the palace is open to the public in August and September, when Her Majesty leaves the apartments. What do they show tourists? Halls for receptions and ceremonies ( State Rooms ), the Queen's Picture Gallery ( The Queen's Gallery ) and royal stables ( The Royal Mews ).
Art Gallery - the longest room of the palace (50 meters). The exhibits are presented here centuries-old history Royal family. Of course, only part of the work from the Royal Collection is on display here, but the exhibition is constantly changing. You may be lucky enough to see paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck, and Titian.
Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace - this is about the same as the Kremlin garage in Moscow. Only unlike the garage, visitors and tourists can look at the interior and vehicles of the Royal Family and, of course, see the magnificent horses.
The palace is guarded by the Court Division. Every day at 11.30 am the famous Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place ( the Changing of the Guard ) is a bright and memorable sight.
After the tour, you can refresh yourself at the snack bar and buy souvenirs at the gift shop. And we will be waiting for your comments and stories. See you!
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britain's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.
Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year. For visitor information, please visit the Royal Collection website.
Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. These include 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. In measurements, the building is 108 meters long across the front, 120 meters deep (including the central quadrangle) and 24 meters high.
The Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of Britain's constitutional monarchy. It houses the offices of those who support the day-to-day activities and duties of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh and their immediate family.
The Palace is also the venue for great Royal ceremonies, State Visits and Investitures, all of which are organized by the Royal Household.
Although Buckingham Palace is furnished and decorated with priceless works of art that form part of the Royal Collection, one of the major art collections in the world today. It is not an art gallery and nor is it a museum.
Its State Rooms form the nucleus of the working Palace and are used regularly by The Queen and members of the Royal Family for official and State entertaining.
More than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and the Royal Garden Parties.
For those who do receive an invitation to Buckingham Palace, the first step across the threshold is into the Grand Hall and up the curving marble stairs of the Grand Staircase. Portraits are still set in the walls, as they were by Queen Victoria.
The Throne Room, sometimes used during Queen Victoria"s reign for Court gatherings and as a second dancing room, is dominated by a proscenium arch supported by a pair of winged figures of "victory" holding garlands above the "chairs of state".
It is in the Throne Room that The Queen, on very special occasions like Jubilees, receives loyal addresses. Another use of the Throne Room has been for formal wedding photographs.
George IV "s original palace lacked a large room in which to entertain. Queen Victoria rectified that shortcoming by adding in 1853-5 what was, at the time of its construction, the largest room in London.
At 36.6m long, 18m wide and 13.5m high, the Ballroom is the largest multi-purpose room in Buckingham Palace. It was opened in 1856 with a ball to celebrate the end of the Crimean War.
It is along the East Gallery that The Queen and her State guests process to the Ballroom for the State Banquet normally held on the first day of the visit.
Around 150 guests are invited and include members of the Royal Family, the government and other political leaders, High Commissioners and Ambassadors and prominent people who have trade or other associations with the visiting country.
Today, it is used by The Queen for State banquets and other formal occasions such as the annual Diplomatic Reception attended by 1,500 guests.
This is a very formal occasion during which The Queen will meet every head of mission accredited to the Court of St James's. For the diplomats it is perhaps the highlight of the annual diplomatic social calendar.
The Ballroom has been used variously as a concert hall for memorial concerts and performances of the arts and it is the regular venue for Investitures of which there are usually 21 a year - nine in spring, two in the summer and ten in the autumn.
At Investitures, The Queen (or The Prince of Wales as Her Majesty's representative) will meet recipients of British honors and give them their awards, including knighting those who have been awarded knighthoods.
From the Ballroom, the West Gallery, with its four Gobelin tapestries, leads into the first of the great rooms that overlook the lawn and the formal gardens - setting for the annual Garden Parties introduced by Queen Victoria in 1868.
The State Dining Room is one of the principal State Rooms on the West side of the Palace. Many distinguished people have dined in this room including the 24 holders of the Order of Merit as well as presidents and prime ministers.
Before the Ballroom was added to the Palace in the 1850s, the first State Ball was held in the Blue Drawing Room in May 1838 as part of the celebrations leading up to Queen Victoria's Coronation.
The Music Room was originally known as the Bow Drawing Room and is the center of the suite of rooms on the Garden Front between the Blue and the White Drawing Rooms.
Four Royal babies - The Prince of Wales, The Princess Royal, The Duke of York and Prince William - were all christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Music Room.
One of its more formal uses is during a State Visit when guests are presented to The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and the visiting Head of State or for receptions.
The last of the suite of rooms overlooking the gardens on the principal floor is the White Drawing Room. Originally called the North Drawing Room, it is perhaps the grandest of all the State Rooms. The Room also serves as a Royal reception room for The Queen and members of the Royal Family to gather before State and official occasions.
The Bow Room is familiar to the many thousands of guests to Royal Garden Parties who pass through it on their way to the garden. It was originally intended as a part of George IV"s private apartments - to be the King"s Library - but it was never fitted up as such.
Instead, it has become another room for entertaining and is where The Queen holds the arrival lunch for a visiting Head of State at the start of a State visit.

Buckingham Palace (EnglishBuckingham Palace is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Like the Houses of Parliament and the double-decker bus, it is an international symbol of London and, by extension, a symbol of the United Kingdom. Unlike many of the capital's most famous buildings, it is not a museum. The Palace is the seat of government of the monarchy, where Her Majesty the Queen carries out her official and ceremonial duties as Head of State of the United Kingdom and Head of the Commonwealth.
By looking at the central flagpole, you can immediately determine whether Her Majesty is in her residence: if the Queen is in residence, the royal standard is flying on the flagpole, in otherwise you will see state flag United Kingdom.
Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House and was built for the Duke of Buckingham (c.1703). It was acquired by the kingGeorge III V as the monarch's future private residence (official residenceSt James's Palaceno longer satisfied with its size and decoration). Over the next 75 years, architectsJohn Nash And Edward Blore(author Alupka Palace), using Buckingham House as a basis, they built three more similar buildings. All together form a square in plan, in the center of which is a large courtyard.
The palace was officially declared the main residence of British monarchs upon the accession of the Queen to the throneVictoria V 1837. During her reign, the last major additions were made, the construction of another outbuilding and the relocation of the former main entrance,Marble Arch, to the current location near the Oratory's Corner inHyde Park. In front of the palace gates there is a monument in honor of Queen Victoria. The cost of construction reached £700,000 due to the use of such excesses as 500 blocksCarrara marble with veins.
Currently the palace includes775 rooms. Of these, 19 are state rooms, 52 royal and guest rooms, 188 staff rooms, 92 offices, 72 bathrooms. It occupies an area of 20 hectares, of which 17 hectares are gardens. Buckingham Palace Gardens are the largest private gardens inLondon. A large artificial pond was completed in1828.
The palace houses the queen's art collection with worksRembrandt, Rubensetc. The collection also contains FrenchSevres porcelain, French and english furniture. The palace has a swimming pool, post office, and its own cinema. The Queen leaves Buckingham Palace for two months (August and September). During these months, the palace's state rooms are open to visitors.
The State Apartments, which are intended for official ceremonies, banquets and receptions, are now open to the public. The central main room is the Green Living Room.
The Green Drawing Room contains perhaps the most excellent things in Buckingham Palace. Here visitors can see a collection of beautiful paintings, artistic furniture, and furnishings such as luxurious candelabra, clocks and vases made of Sevres porcelain. The porcelain items on display in the State Apartments of the palace are part of a large collection collected by King George IV. Currently, this collection is considered the best in the world.
The artistic furniture of the living room is of particular value. In particular, this is where the ebony chest of drawers with gilded bronze is located.
After the Green Living Room comes the Throne Room, through which visitors enter the Picture Gallery - the largest room in Buckingham Palace: its length is almost 50 meters, its width is eight meters. Here visitors will be able to see not only paintings, but also portraits of great painters of the past, which are sculptured on four white marble fireplaces.
The Art Gallery and State Rooms of Buckingham Palace house only a portion of the paintings belonging to the British Crown within their walls. The royal collection is also housed in Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace, Osborne House and Hollyrood House.
The State Dining Room of Buckingham Palace is also open to visitors. Its long mahogany table can accommodate 600 people at a time. In the center of the dining room, above the fireplace, hangs a huge (almost three meters high) portrait of King George IV. On either side of it are portraits of King George III and Queen Charlotte, portraits of Prince Frederick of Wales and Princess Augusta of Wales. The White Drawing Room is the latest to open at Buckingham Palace. The white-golden tone of her interior dominates everywhere: in architectural details, furniture, lamps, objects of decorative and applied art.
Buckingham Palace is Small town with its own police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, two sports clubs, a cinema and a swimming pool. The palace has about 600 rooms and about three miles of carpets. The service staff of this “town” is about 700 people.
During the summer, the palace is visited by approximately 30,000 guests, who take part in receptions in the royal garden, which features a lake and waterfalls. The picture of natural nature is complemented by flamingo birds, whose peace is not disturbed even by royal helicopters circling over the garden. Many royal ceremonies begin here, such as the State Opening of Parliament in the fall or the Queen's Birthday ceremony in June.
In the Royal Mews there are luxurious carriages and carriages, decorated with gold and polished to a shine, as well as horses and equipment. The crown jewel of this collection is Her Majesty's golden carriage of state, painted by the Italian artist Cipriani, which has been used in every coronation procession since 1831.
The changing of the guard ceremony in the square near Buckingham Palace is very interesting. Here you can see the royal guards marching solemnly, dressed in red suits and bearskin hats.
