The Massandra Palace, built in the 19th century in Upper Massandra on the Southern coast of Crimea, was the residence of Emperor Alexander III. The building was built in the style of ancient castles of the period of the French king Louis XIII. It is often called the "little Versailles".
Массандровский дворец, построенный в XIX веке в Верхней Массандре на Южном берегу Крыма, был резиденцией императора Александра III. Здание возведено в стиле старинных замков периода французского короля Людовика XIII. Его нередко называют «малым Версалем».
Hotel on the sea coast. Hotel "Marino" in Yalta-part of the tour of Chekhov's places. The former cottage of Kazimir Benkovsky in the NINETEENTH century thanks to the architect Nikolai Krasnov has gained its refined appearance, and the famous guest — Anton Pavlovich Chekhov — added romanticism. According to local legends, in these places — from a café opposite the hotel — Chekhov pesona Dmitry Gurov noticed the lady with the dog: "Sitting in the pavilion at Vernet, he saw on the promenade was a young lady, short blond, in a beret; behind her ran a white Spitz". These walls remember Maxim Gorky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marius Petipa and a strong earthquake, after which the building lost part of its bourgeoisie: it was necessary to remove the decorative borders and vases.
Бывшая дача Казимира Беньковского на ялтинской набережной в конце XIX века, благодаря архитектору Николаю Краснову, обрела свой изысканный вид и стала называться гостиницей Мариино. Знаменитый постоялец Антон Павлович Чехов добавил отелю романтизма: по местным приданиям именно в этих местах - из кафе напротив гостиницы чеховский персонаж Дмитрий Дмитриевич Гуров заметил даму с собачкой. Эти стены помнят Максима Горького, Владимира Маяковского, Мариуса Петила и сильное землетрясение 1927 года, после которого здание лишилось части своего буржуазного декора.

The Faroese have one of the oldest parliaments in the world, located in the Tinganes section of the capital city of Torshavn. Their parliament first met during the Viking ages in 825, and is in good company with other old parliaments such as that of Þingvellir in Iceland and Jamtamót in Sweden. The buildings still standing here today are from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Walking around Tinganes in the middle of a fine Sunday I discovered two things: 1) It's pretty darn small. You could see the whole thing in 5 minutes if you wanted. And 2) Like elsewhere in the Faroes, you're not likely to encounter a lot of other tourists (yay!). If you take a visit to Torshavn, it's pretty hard to pass up walking through this small and enjoyable historic area, easily accessible from downtown Torshavn on foot.
