Russia Post issued a stamp to celebrate 100th Anniversary of the Vorontsov Palace Museum in Alupka 17th March 2022 depicting the image of the Vorontsov Palace.
The palace ensemble of the Vorontsov Palace in Alupka consisting of five buildings was built in 1828-1848 by English architect Edward Blore for Count Mikhail Vorontsov, the Governor-General of Novorossiysk Territory. The staterooms of the palace decorated in the style of traditional English interiors have almost entirely retained their original finish.
The palace is surrounded by an ancient park stretching out over an area of more than 30 hectares. More than 200 species of exotic trees and plants grow here. Abundant mountain springs are used to create artificial lakes and numerous cascades. Vast glades offer picturesque views of the mountains. In 1834, a Pavilion in the classicism style, later named a Tea House, was built in the Lower Park near the sea.
