A copy of a unique wooden palace, which used to be a residence of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in the middle 17th century, was unveiled at the Kolomenskoye estate in Moscow, Rossiya TV channel reports. Contemporaries described the palace as the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. Two centuries later Empress Catherine II ordered the dismantling of  the ramshackle palace. The reconstruction took three years.
