Massandra Palace is situated 3-4 km. North-East from Yalta. Resembling a French chateau, the castle originally built for Tsar Alexander III, but he's died in 1894, before it was finished in 1902. Later Massandra Castle was used by last Russian Tsar Nicolas II as a hunting lodge (Romanovs family never stayed for a night here!). In Soviet time it was Stalin's summer dacha.
