A general view of Livadia palace taken in Yalta on March 5, 2014. The palace was a summer residence of the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, and his family. 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 is a museum, but it is sometimes used by the Ukrainian authorities for international summits.
