Likani Villa

The palace was designed by Leon Benois for Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhailovich of Russia.

The first hydroelectric power plant in the Russian Empire was built in 1898 in Likani to illuminate the palace.

In the era of the Romanovs, images of a private house were preserved in photographs by Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky.

Part of the furniture of the private house is exhibited in the Georgian Museum of Simon Janashia.

The leaders of the Communist Party, including Joseph Stalin, rested here.
