The monument of architecture of beginnings of XX century - ex-palace of Bukhara's emir in Yalta is erected in 1907-1911. The author of project Tarasov used the plastic metthods and decorative elements of moslem architecture of countries of Northern Africa. The two-floor building is characterizing with the asymmetric composition, combination of rectangular, faceted and half-round volumes, porticos and terraces. The light carving of columns with refined capitals, balustrades, frames of horseshoe-shaped windows and cogged parapet over cornice looks well dressed on background of whitestone walls.
