    Vorontsov Palace (Ukrainian: Воронцовський палац, Russian: Воронцовский дворец) is a palace built in the first half of the 19th century in Alupka. The palace of Prince Vorontsov, together with a large park, was built from 1828 to 1848 by the architect Edward Blore, known for the expansion of Buckingham Palace. The palace was built in an eclectic style, mainly using neo-Gothic elements on the northern façade and architecture modeled on Indian and Moorish architecture on the southern façade[3]. Local diabase was used in the construction. The complex is considered one of the main tourist attractions of Crimea. The palace park was designed and supervised by the German gardener Karl Kebach. After the October Revolution and the final fall of the Whites' rule, the palace was nationalized. During the Yalta Conference, the palace in Alupka was the seat of the British delegation, led by Churchill. The impressive appearance of the palace meant that in 1985 the team making the film The Travels of Mr. Kleks chose it as a filming object, which "played" the palace of King Apollinaris Bai, the ruler of the fictional film land - Bajdocja.

        The Alupka Palace and Park Museum-Reserve, also known as the Vorontsov Palace, was created in the first half of the 19th century in Alupka, at the foot of Mount Ai-Petri. The first owner of the luxurious palace was Count Mikhail Vorontsov. The building began to be erected in 1830, but completed after 18 years. The palace was built in the Neo-Gothic style, the northern facade of the central building and the western part of the palace are made in the Tudor style. The southern façade is crowned by the Lion Terrace, a monumental staircase with three pairs of white marble lions.
