Estate of Academician P. S. Pallas

About museum

Since 2024, the archaeological exhibition of the Neapolis Scythian State Historical and Cultural Reserve has been available to visitors within the walls of the federally protected architectural monument "Estate of Academician P. S. Pallas". This is a country estate built at the end of the 18th century on the banks of the Salgir River. Today it is located on the grounds of the N. V. Bagrov Botanical Garden.

The estate was acquired by the wife of the well-known Russian researcher P. S. Pallas, Karolina Ivanovna (after whom it was called Karolinovka), and was the center of Simferopol's social life. The main building of the estate — a one-story residential house in an Oriental style — it is believed that the first owners were prosperous Crimean Tatars who later emigrated to Turkey.
