"Massandra, Ukraine: A Glimpse into the Past of Imperial Yalta - The Massandra Palace, nestled in the lush Crimean countryside, once served as a summer residence for Tsar Alexander III and his family. Constructed in the late 19th century by Maximilian von Messmacher, this architectural masterpiece boasts an eclectic mix of European styles. Ekaterina Balashova (Shuvalova), a prominent figure in Russian society, oversaw the rebuilding project in the 1880s and 1890s. The stunning view of the palace, captured in the 1890s, showcases its grandeur and the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings. Today, the Massandra Palace stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Ukraine and Crimea." (DDE-90025744)
