After visiting the «Meridional Country», Empress Catherine the Great called Crimea «the best pearl» in the crown of the Russian Empire. The lush exotic nature, the landscape never before seen, the bright southern sun and the warm caressing sea were destined to admire and amaze.

The snow-white building of Livadia Palace looks very elegant against the background of the blue sea and fresh green of the park. The new Big Palace was built for Nikolay II by the Yalta architect N.Krasnov within seventeen months. 52 companies of many Russian cities took part in the palace complex construction but generally the participants were the Crimean inhabitants – Russians, Ukranians, Byelo-russians, Tatars, Greeks, Italians, Turks.

In the first half of the last century, a palace designed by the English architect Edward Blore was built in Alupka (Yalta) for the governor-general of Nova Rossia count Vorontsov. The count’s serfs were erecting this miracle of architecture for 20 years. The north side of the castle has a definite british aspect, its west wing resembles a medieval fortress, while its frontage facing south looks as a kind of moslem temple. The palace wonderfully fits into the panorama of the mountains and the blue expanse of the sea. Thousand of crimean guests file along these facades each so unlike the other, look over the winter garden, library, Chinese study, grand dining hall, blue drawing room. More »
