The Great Kremlin Palace was one of the most massive constructions in Moscow.
It was built in 1849 to symbolize the new Moscow, but old structures of the Kremlin also remained untouched.
The Great Kremlin Palace is also connected with the Terem Palace and the Hall of the Facets
The Faceted palace is a special place. Many great events took place inside these walls. Here they celebrated the coronation of Alexander III, seizure of Kazan in 1552, boyards' meetings were held here too.
The Hall is posh and beautiful. It connects the staterooms of the Great Kremlin Palace, the Faceted Palace and the old Terem Palace.
The doors that lead to the St. George's Hall have the same shape as the windows on the building facades.
In the mid 90s they decided to restore the Hall and bring the original interior back. The works were done from 1994 to 1998. In fact what you see now are replicas of authentic interiors.
Curtains made from ermine which is ... not real. The thrones are replicas as well, real ones are kept in the Armory Chamber.
