Palace of the Romanov Boyars
The Palace of the Romanov Boyars in Moscow serves as a testament to the history of a family that climbed the social and political ladder in Russia, culminating in Mikhail Romanov being elected as Tsar in 1613. This magnificent building was restored in the mid 1800s by Tsar Nicholas I, and turned into a museum as a tribute to his ancestors, offering fascinating insight into the world of early aristocratic life in Moscow that may not form the basis of mainstream knowledge of Russian history, but is nonetheless significant.
