Vrana Palace, Royal residence and park in Iskar, Bulgaria.

The Vrana Palace consists of two main buildings: a 1904 hunting lodge and a larger palace constructed between 1909 and 1914.

The palace grounds were purchased by Tsar Ferdinand I in 1898 and served as a private estate for Bulgarian monarchs until the abolition of monarchy in 1946.

The interior design combines Bulgarian Revival architecture with Art Nouveau elements, featuring the Karelian Hall with furniture made from Russian birch wood.

The surrounding park, open to visitors on weekends, contains more than 400 plant species and connects to Sofia through a dedicated bus service.

The palace underwent property ownership changes, from royal residence to communist government headquarters, before returning to former King Simeon II in 1998.
