Livadia Palace and park are world famous. The White Livadia Palace was constructed to be a summer residence of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. Later on, it housed a sanatorium for peasants and, in February of 1945, the Yalta Conference of the Tree Allied Powers was held here. After the Victory, the palace was the summer residence of Soviet leaders where Stalin, Molotov and others used to come. Then again it was a holiday centre replaced by a museum in 1974. The park of 126 hectares was laid out in the early 19th century in the landscape style by the gardener Delinger and boasts 400 species of trees and shrubs, original Rose, Tsar's and Turkish summer pavilions, an 80 metres long pergola of roses, wisteria and wild grapes - the longest in the Crimea.. |
