Vorontsov Palace (Alupka)
The Vorontsov Palace or the Alupka Palace is a historic palace situated at the foot of the Crimean Mountains near the town of Alupka in Crimea. The Vorontsov Palace is one of the oldest and largest palaces in Crimea, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions on Crimea's southern coast.
The Vorontsov Palace: the northern entrance façade. The stone was mined locally as part of a conscious effort to blend the building with its mountainous surroundings.
The southern façade of the main building is built in the style of an iwan, which is common in Islamic architecture.
In the 1820s, Russian noblemen commissioned a number of Palladian residences in Novorossiya, primarily in Odessa.
Prince Mikhail Vorontsov (1782–1856) commissioned the palace for use as his own summer residence.
