Bagçesaray Palace Of The Crimean Khans

Bagçesaray Palace of the Crimean Khans (On tentative list)

Bagçesaray Palace of the Crimean Khans by Tsunami

I took a bus from the Bakhchysarai train station to the Kahn's Palace.

The whole setting reminded me of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, although the palace design is somewhat different and is smaller.

A main difference is that there was a statue of Russian poet Pushkin who had visited this palace.

In the same surroundings there is a cliff monastery and Chufut-Kale, which is also part of this nomination. Chufut-Kale is basically a cave city, and I'm not sure how this cave city is related to another TWHS in Crimea called "Cultural Landscape of 'Cave Towns' of the Crimean Gothia."
