Villa Golubka, Historical villa in Alushta, Russia

Villa Golubka is a stone mansion at 20 Lenin Street in central Alushta, built in 1827 from shell limestone and diorite. Its right wing is two stories, its left wing one story with a basement; the house has 18 rooms totaling 477.5 square meters. Three memorial plaques are mounted on the facade.

Construction began in 1827, marking an important period of residential development along the Crimean southern coast. The building later served as a detention facility for members of the Republic of Taurida government during regional conflict.

The name "Golubka" (little dove) comes from retired General Golubov, who bought the building in the late 19th century and converted it into a dacha. Three memorial plaques on the facade mark the 1894 meeting of Nicholas and Alexandra, the 1918 executions of Taurida government members, and Stalin's 1945 stop. Since 2016 the building has housed the S. N. Sergeyev-Tsensky Central City Library.

The mansion stands at 20 Lenina Street in central Alushta, on the former Kutuzovskaya Street. It now houses the S. N. Sergeev-Tsensky Central City Library, so visits follow library opening hours. The right wing is two-storey and the left wing single-storey with a basement.

In February 1945 the house, standing near the Simferopol–Yalta highway, was one of the "track-side cottages" meant for brief rests of delegation heads arriving for the Yalta Conference; Stalin stayed in the room that now serves as the library's reading hall.
