Anna is back to share with us the Alexander Palace. The cozy home of the last Romanovs. Far from the hustle and bustle of Saint Petersburg downtown, hidden from the eyes of the pompous courtiers, the family of Nicholas II chose this quiet nook to be their fortress. This palace saw it all – quiet family evenings by the fireplace with books, small dinners for friends, children playing and laughing, as well as sleepless nights when Tsarevich Alexey was suffering from intolerable pain and Alexandra Feodorovna sitting by his side holding his hand and feeling helpless as nothing could be done to to stop her son’s agony. After the abdication of Nicholas II, their castle turned into their prison. From Alexander palace the Romanovs would be sent to exile… to never come back. Let's walk through the rooms of the palace to see the newly restored interiors filled with original personal items of the last Romanovs and learn more about them as a family.
