Potemkin, Tsarina Catherine the Great's favourite, is said to have given sumptuous receptions here. After his death the Anichkov Palace, built in 1750, was extended along the quayside by a long building with a colonnade, then was flanked by two Neoclassical pavilions designed by Carlo Rossi. Today it houses the Youth Creativity Centre.
