Architectural and Park Complex of the Palace
Ul Albenski pat N14, 9600 Balchik, Bulgaria
Description:
In a wondrous place, located between the rocks and the raging waves of the sea, hidden the former summer residence of the Romanian Queen Maria Alexandria Victoria de Edinburgh. The architectural and park complex was designed by an Italian architect on the orders of Queen Mary. The original beauty of the area should not be disturbed by the designers. The charm of virgin nature was complemented by spacious terraces with amazing flowers, stone canals, waterfalls, gardens with water mirrors. The mixture of Bulgarian, Byzantine, Arabic styles only strengthened the magical atmosphere prevailing in the complex.
The park along the coast was designed by a Swiss master. Gardens were decorated with decorative jugs and amphorae, wells and ponds. Later, the chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin was built. The richness of the interior decoration of the chapel is complemented by the carved throne and iconostasis.
