The palace of Alexander the Third
Russian-language article (translation in progress).
In 1889 Massandra estate of Vorontsovs together with the unfinished Palace was bought for the emperor Alexander the Third.
In 3 years the Palace building has been finished, but Alexander the Third also had no chance to live there: he died in 1894 in Maly Livadia Palace.
In Soviet time for many years this beautiful architectural monument was the closed object.
In tsar's Palace, that became the state cottage, the party and government leaders stopped there to rest.
Nowadays the palace is the object for excursions.
