Palace of the Emir of Bukhara
About museum
Above Yalta's Primorsky Park stands a palace built by architect N. G. Tarasov from Kerch stone in the Moorish style between 1907 and 1911. The palace was the residence of the Emir of Bukhara on the southern coast of Crimea. The architecture of the two-storey building is a combination of rectangular, faceted and semicircular volumes, porticoes, terraces, loggias and belvederes. Visually, the palace is complemented by the openwork carving of the columns with exquisite capitals, balustrades, as well as the framing of horseshoe-shaped windows and a crenellated parapet above the cornice. At the end of the twentieth century the palace was rebuilt and converted into a hotel.
