The Grand Kremlin Palace is one of the Moscow Kremlin palaces. It was constructed in 1838−1849 by order of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia by famous architect from St Petersburg K. Thon. The Palace serves as the ceremonial residence of the head of state.
The five reception halls on the first floor of the Palace – the Halls of the Orders of St. Andrew, of St. Alexander, of St. George, of St. Vladimir and of St. Catherine - are dedicated to Russian orders with their elements embedded in the stucco decoration of each hall.
Presently, the Grand Kremlin Palace is the venue for the most ceremonial events of national importance. It is used for the President's inauguration ceremonies, presentation of governmental awards and credentials, and festive receptions.
