What Livadia Palace looked like in its prime.
A broad, rectangular three-storey mass of white Crimean limestone with four distinct façades, arched Bramantesque windows and a balustraded roofline; a Carrara‑marble arched portico and colonnaded loggia run along the main front. The composition includes an Italian arcaded courtyard, an enclosed Arabic patio, a Florentine tower with a belvedere, multiple bays ornamented with jasper vases, and terraces stepping down into a formal park of cypresses and palms overlooking the sea.
