Europe’s Darkest Cellar — The Room Where Rasputin Died - Kev's Travel Stories

Beneath one of St Petersburg's most gilded palaces lies a cold, vaulted cellar where, one December night in 1916, aristocrats poisoned, shot and finally drowned Grigori Rasputin — the monk who would not die. Kevin descends the staircase, stands among the wax figures at the fatal supper table, and discovers a room that is so disturbing it leaves some people in a cold sweat. It also later inspired his novel, The Secret of the Sacred Spear. Travel, it seems, can be fertile ground for a soaring imagination.You can also follow The Top Travel Destinations on social media for updates: Instagram: ⁠@thetoptraveldestinations⁠X: ⁠@becreativekev
