A visit to the Catherine Palace outside St.Petersburg. The palace was sacked and totally destroyed by the Nazis during WW2 ...they got this close to the city during the siege (less than 1/2 an hour by local train)! The years of painstaking work involved in the reconstruction of the palace - and every detail of its interior - is an amazing and touching achievement.
