2. Livadia Palace was a summer retreat of the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II,
and his family in Livadiya, Crimea in southern Ukraine.
The Yalta Conference was held there in 1945, when the palace housed
the apartments of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and
other members of the American delegation. Today the palace houses a museum,
but it is sometimes used by the Ukrainian authorities for international summits.
