Not wishing to live in the Winter Palace of Peter I, Empress Anna Ioannovna ordered the creation of a new residence. Initially, the imperial court was located in the former house of Admiral General F.M. Apraksin on the Neva Embankment near the Admiralty, expanded in 1731 with wooden extensions. In 1732, on the western side of the "Admiral's House", parallel to the Admiralty, the construction of stone ceremonial buildings began — in fact, it was the construction of a new palace. The works were supervised by Francesco Rastrelli with the participation of his father Bartolomeo.
Summer Palace of Anna Ioannovna
The Third Winter Palace is the Palace of Anna Ioannovna
- Anna Ioannovna's Summer Palace was built in 1770-1784 by architect Yu.M.Feuilletonno. Originally, during the reign of Empress Catherine I, a "Hall for Glorious Celebrations" was built here, which was a wooden gallery and a hall. In 1725, the marriage of Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna with the Duke of Holstein took place there. From this marriage was born Karl Ulrich, the future Russian Emperor Peter III.
- In 1756 (according to other sources - 1746), Empress Elizabeth ordered the palace to be dismantled and transferred outside the city, where it was used to expand the Yekateringof Palace, which she had loved since childhood. From the materials of the Summer Palace, two outbuildings were built on the sides of the Yekateringof Palace.

"Anna Ioannovna with an Arab boy"
The bronze sculpture group "Anna Ioannovna with an Arab girl" installed in the center of the hall is the most significant work of the Italian master Carlo Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
This unique work of Russian monumental sculpture was created from 1732 to 1741. The life-size group was intended to be staged in front of the new (Third) Winter Palace. However, the death of Anna Ioannovna in 1740 and the accession to the Russian throne of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna prevented the implementation of this plan. "Anna Ioannovna with an Arab" is the rarest example of a coronation ceremonial portrait in sculpture.
According to the memoirs of contemporaries, Empress Anna "was fearless to look at, had a disgusting face, was so great that when she walks between the cavaliers, she is all head taller and extremely fat." Rastrelli perfectly conveys the portrait similarity.
