Vorontsov Palace in Alupka

Vorontsov Palace is one of the main attractions of Alupka, Crimea. It was built in 1848 by architect Edward Blore. Palace construction lasted more than 20 years. There is also a beautiful park near the Vorontsov Palace. It was created by a talented German horticulturist Karl Kebah. Palace with a garden was owned by the family of Vorontsov before the 1917 revolution. Then it was nationalized, and soon there was a museum.
