Many countries have once moved their capital cities, leaving a former capital with rich cultural assets. Saint Petersburg is such a city.

Winter Palace, the former residence of Russian emperors, is naturally the most iconic landmark of Saint Petersburg. The palace is more than just a palace for tsars – it is also a museum. Catherine the Great renovated and expanded the palace into a great royal complex of six buildings. Apart from expanding the Russian empire, Catherine the Great was keen on collecting treasures. Famous paintings and art pieces were purchased from merchants from around the world and stored in the State Hermitage Museum of the Winter Palace. Eventually, rich collections were built up over the years.

Our Lady of Fatima possesses a prestigious position in the hearts of the Catholics in Portuguese-speaking regions such as Portugal, Brazil and Macao.

Processions of Our Lady of Fatima are held every year.

Many will regard the Moscow Kremlin, along with Red Square and Saint Basil's Cathedral next to it, as an iconic representation of Russia.
