It is located on one of the ledges of Cape Ai-Todor, on the 40-meter high Aurorina rock, which is sheer. Swallow’s Nest seems to float above the sea and is a continuation of the cliff. This museum is made in the form of a medieval knight’s castle, which was originally built in 1912 and has been preserved almost unchanged. Today the palace has been restored and renovated, as a result of which plastic windows and secure doors have been installed in the museum, and the walls are made of beautiful stone. Now the museum has exhibitions with various artifacts that were raised from the bottom of the Black Sea. All artifacts belong to different historical epochs and are of historical value. Also in the palace you can see a collection of postcards depicting the castle. Visitors are pleasantly pleased not only with the architectural beauty of the castle, but also with the picturesque nature around the castle, from where you can see all the surroundings. There is a picturesque park around the palace for strolling. And at the very bottom of the castle there is a secure pier built by professionals. This allows you to get close to the castle by steamboat or boat. Swallow’s Nest looks wonderful from the sea. During a boat trip you can see the castle and enjoy the view.
