About
This architectural masterpiece from the early 20th century was designed by architect Nikolai Krasnov. The palace was built in just 17 months and became the last structure erected in the Russian Empire for the Romanov family. In 1945, it hosted the Yalta Conference with leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition. Visitors can explore several rooms with reconstructed imperial-era interiors and exhibitions detailing key historical milestones. Highlights include the emperor’s study and bedroom, the empress’s drawing room, the state dining room, the grand duchesses’ classroom, the vestibule, and the library. The aristocratic estate is adorned with two courtyards: the Arabian Courtyard, featuring majolica tiles, and the Italian Courtyard, with Tuscan columns and marble benches. The palace-park complex spans over 36 hectares. In addition to the main palace, it includes the Suite Corps, Baron Frederiks’ House, the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross, and a park with preserved gazebos, fountains, and relic trees from the tsarist era.

Yalta Onion
This flattened red onion is practically a local legend. Sweet with no bitterness, it keeps for up to a year. Sold cheaply at markets, it adds a vibrant touch to salads. If you have space in your bag—grab some without hesitation.

Vorontsov Palace
The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century for Count Mikhail Vorontsov, governor-general of the Novorossiysk region. The northern facade of the palace is designed in Tudor style, while the southern terrace, "guarded" by marble lions, incorporates elements of Eastern architecture.
