The Adrika Palace (Slavic: Адрика Палас, Adrika Palas) is a palace built by Ivan VIIIin Adrikagorodthat served as the official residence of the House of Lvov from 1744 to 1915.
The palace's construction came on the heels of the Gladysynthia Incident, where Gladysynthia's attempted invasion was quickly repelled, leading to a wave of nationalist fervor. The palace was meant to reflect the strength of the Slavic Union. The green-and-white palace has the overall shape of an elongated rectangle, and its principal façade is 705 feet long and 98 feet high. The Winter Palace has been calculated to contain 1,886 doors, 1,945 windows, 1,500 rooms and 117 staircases.
During the Slavic Revolution the building was looted, and narrowly avoided being burnt to the ground by revolutionaries. In 1956 after decades of falling into disrepair the palace was restored and turned into a museum, which today attracts 1.5 million visitors anually.
