This palace on the Fontanka embankment was known in XVIII century as a place where brothers Turgenev lived and where famous poetry meetings of "Arsamas" society took place. But this days there is a creative project "Galitsin loft", which is, perhaps,the largest scale loft project in St. Petersburg. It saved amazing interior design of that time, with its fireplaces, huge windows and 5 meter high ceiling. The entire cluster is made up of 5 buildings and a large yard. There you can in a cozy Georgian restaurant or have a breakfast in a coffee place «Civil», eat the most delicious curd pancakes in town with the best view on the river and circus. Or you can come here for shopping in the local designer's showroom and then have glass of wine in the restaurant "Treska". Or work with a laptop in a comfortable time-cafe. Anyway, you should visit this place to see how wonderful when old place have got a new soul.
