Vorontsovsky park, English garden in Alupka, Crimea.
Vorontsovsky Park is a garden next to a palace in Alupka on the Black Sea coast, with sloping terrain and different sections each with its own character. The site blends designed gardens with more overgrown vegetation and features several artificial lakes throughout.
The park was designed in the 1820s as part of the overall development with the palace and was meant to connect architecture with the landscape. Its design followed European garden traditions that were popular in the region at that time.
The park takes its name from Vorontsov Palace and reflects the bond between architecture and nature that shaped the region's development. Its lakes and pathways serve today as places where both visitors and locals spend time outdoors.
The park is easily reached on foot and has several entry points accessible from different areas of the nearby palace. The paths can become slippery in wet weather, so proper footwear is important.
The upper section contains rock formations with interesting geological structures that create a different feeling from the lower areas. These rocky zones display plant life adapted to harsher conditions, making them worth exploring.
