Ten interesting facts about the Dulber Palace in Crimea

ToThe eye can undoubtedly boast of a whole scattering of the most beautiful palace complexes and structures. There are actually a lot of them here. However, the Dulber Palace stands apart. This palace is a real Arabian fairy tale of Crimea, which has its own interesting history and secrets.

1) The palace was built a little hastily, in just two years. Its construction was associated with an acute shortage of funds. As a result, the architect replaced absolutely all expensive building materials with more budget-friendly counterparts. This also applies to finishing materials. However, this, in some way blasphemous, substitution, did not affect the feeling of "oriental luxury" that the Dulber Palace produces today.

    2) During the revolution of 1917, the Dulber Palace was transformed into a real fortress, where some members of the Romanov family spent their days during the civil war in Crimea. The powerful walls of the building reliably hid their inhabitants and really saved their lives.

    3) In difficult times for representatives of the Romanov dynasty, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, until the entry of German troops into the Crimea, acted as an assistant and consultant to a sailor named Zadorozhny. Zadorozhny was then a commissar of the Sevastopol Soviet and was responsible for the security of members of the royal family in the Crimea. The prince also helped him to establish the defense of the palace from the armed attacks of the anarchists.
