The Romanov Palace

The Romanov Palace in Likani is a historical landmark located near the village of Likani, close to the town of Borjomi in Georgia. Built in the late 19th century, the palace was constructed as a summer residence for the Russian Imperial family, specifically for Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia, a member of the Romanov family. The palace was designed in the style of a traditional European country estate, combining classical architecture with the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and forests.
Set amidst lush gardens and situated on the banks of the Mtkvari River, the Romanov Palace was a luxurious retreat where the Russian royals could escape the hustle and bustle of imperial life. The palace was equipped with all the modern conveniences of the time, including a private chapel, a large dining room, and a grand hall.
The building is known for its distinctive architecture, featuring elegant balconies, ornamental columns, and a beautiful park with various walking paths and benches overlooking the river. After the fall of the Russian Empire and the revolution in 1917, the palace became a state property. It was later used for various purposes, including as a sanatorium and health resort.
Today, the Romanov Palace serves as a historical site and is a popular destination for visitors who are interested in Georgia’s royal connections and its rich history. The surrounding area offers scenic views, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful visit or a leisurely walk through the estate's grounds.
