The Grand Kremlin Palace was build over the span of 12 years (1837-49) on Borovitsky Hill in Moscow - to serve as the tsarâs city residence. Spectacularly opulent, it was designed by the esteemed architect Konstantin Thon as a tribute to the greatness of the Russian autocracy. During the Soviet Era the palace was used as a meeting place for the sessions of the Supreme Council of USSR. The book describes the history and architecture of the Kremlin Palace and it also allows a glimpse into some of the most spectacular of its collections. 2.
