The Catherine Palace is a Rococo palace in the town of Pushkin (Tsarskoe Selo) which is located in 24km (15mi) south from the center of St Petersburg, Russia. A former summer residence of the Russian Imperial Family.

The Catherine Palace was founded in 1717 and built in 1756 by the design of an architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
