And bonus question: was it ever the site of dance-offs between revolutionaries and uptight British colonists?
I don’t know, but those guys are gonna have some serious knee problems when they get older.
Not sure, but those guys sure love their Mexican food appetizers.

Wiki tells me that building is the Mariinskyi Palace, the official residence of the President of Ukraine. As it is in Ukraine, I doubt there were any British colonists to engage in a dance off.
Don’t be too sure. Those British colonists are, like, everywhere man.
So it was apparently in Ukraine:
It was based on an actual Raj-era palace where some act of defiance against the British took place, I’m guessing there was less dancing involved.
I beat you by four minutes. {Scroll up just a tad.}
