Ruins of a Palace at Oreanda in the Crimea
Ruins of a Palace at Oreanda in the Crimea built by Nicholas I in the mid 19th century. The Oreanda estate had been a favoured retreat for the Russian Royalty for many years prior to construction of the palace. The buildings burned down in August 1881 and the ruins and columns, looking like some Greco-Roman ones, remained untouched for years (as depicted here)
