Vorontsov Palace, Palace and museum in Alupka, Crimea

The palace contains 150 rooms decorated with period furniture and exhibits elements of English Renaissance revival, Scottish Baronial, and Gothic Revival architectural styles.

Prince Mikhail Vorontsov commissioned the construction of this summer residence between 1828 and 1848, investing 9 million silver rubles in the project.

The palace combines Western European architecture with Islamic design elements, featuring a mosque-like vestibule and white marble lions on its stairs.

The museum displays collections of historical furniture, paintings, and artworks across multiple exhibition halls connected through guided tour routes.

The building materials include locally sourced greenish-gray diabase stones, selected to match the surrounding Crimean mountain landscape.
