Ref Number: 34
Euxionograde Palace is the former summer royal residence of the Bulgarian monarchs.
The palace construction started in 1882 and the place was named Sandrovo by Prince Alexander I Battenberg and it was later renamed to Euxinograde (combining the Greek word euxine – hospitable with the Slavonic grad – town or fortress) by Princess Maria Luisa, the wife of the next Bulgarian ruler H.M. King Ferdinand I of Saxe Coburg Gotha. It is still owned by the state, and foreign dignitaries stay here when they visit Varna.
