Mykola Krasnov’s palace of 1910–1911, where the Yalta Conference took place on 4–11 February 1945.

The white palace in Livadia was built in 1910–1911 to a design by the architect Mykola Krasnov (Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine); other sources say work began in the autumn of 1909 (zabytki.in.ua). It is built of white Inkerman stone: conceived in the Italian Renaissance style, it combines Byzantine, Gothic and Arabic elements with Art Nouveau details (Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine). The building has 116 rooms and two courtyards, the Arabic and the Florentine (zabytki.in.ua). On 4–11 February 1945 the Crimean (Yalta) Conference was held here, with sessions in the White Hall (Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine). The interiors were largely lost during the occupation of 1942–1944 (zabytki.in.ua); the palace became a state museum in 1993. In May 2025 Radio Svoboda reported that the reconstruction of the park promised by the occupation authorities for 2022–2025 had never begun.

Crimea has been occupied since 2014 — no access.
