This is one of the most outstanding landmarks of the 18 th –century architecture. It was designed by Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli and constructed in 1749-1757. The first owner of the palace was Count Mikhail Vorontsov, the Chancellor of the Russian Empire. It is from his surname that the name of the palace originates. In the reign of Paul I who became the Great Master of the Maltese Order soon after becoming the Czar, Vorontsov's Palace housed the administration of the Order from 1798 to 1801.

In 1800, a Roman Catholic church of St. John the Baptist designed by Giacomo Quarenghi was constructed in the courtyard of the palace. In 1801, a Russian Orthodox chapel of St. John the Baptist was constructed within the palace building.

In 1810, the building of Vorontsov's Palace was given to Pages' School.

Now, Vorontsov's Palace houses the Suvorov Military School.
