Kadriorg Palace (Estonian: Kadrioru loss) is a Petrine Baroque palace built for Catherine I
of Russia by Peter the Great in Tallinn, Estonia. The Estonian name for the palace means
"Catherine's valley". It was built after the Great Northern War to Nicola Michetti's designs by Gaetano
Chiaveri and Mikhail Zemtsov. The palace currently houses the Kadriorg Art Museum, a branch
of the Art Museum of Estonia, displaying foreign art from the 16th to 20th centuries. (Source:Wikipedia)
