The Romanov Palace
The Romanov Palace in Tashkent, also known as the Grand Duke's residence, was built in 1891 in the Art Nouveau style. Architects V. S. Heintzelman and A. L. Benois created this elegant two-story palace, which became a symbol of the Russian presence in Central Asia at the end of the 19th century.
The palace is distinguished by its rich decor, including elegant lattices and unusual windows, which makes it an outstanding example of architecture of that time.
It was built for Grand Duke Nikolai Romanov, who was appointed governor of the Turkestan region.
Today, the palace is an important historical landmark of Tashkent and attracts tourists with its architectural style and historical significance.
It also serves as a reminder of the cultural and political ties between Russia and Uzbekistan in the past.
