Lonely Planet review for Khans’ Palace

When she was busy ordering the mass destruction of Bakhchysaray’s mosques in the 18th and early 19th centuries, Catherine the Great spared the Khans’ Palace. Her decision was reportedly based on the building being ‘romantic’, and it is sweet. While it lacks the imposing grandeur of Islamic structures in, say, Istanbul, this is a major landmark of Crimean culture and history.
