Kharaks Palace

Kharaks Palace stands on the Black Sea coast, featuring architectural elements characteristic of Russian aristocratic residences from the early twentieth century.

The palace construction began in 1901 after Grand Duke Michael Nikolayevich of Russia purchased the land, with architect Nikolaï Krasnov leading the design process.

The palace received its name from an ancient Roman military camp discovered in the area, connecting the structure to the region's deep historical roots.

The building transformed from a private residence to a sanatorium in 1922, then evolved into an archaeological museum displaying regional artifacts in 1987.

The structure incorporates design elements that reference both its Roman namesake and traditional Russian architectural styles of the imperial period.
