Bakhchisaray Palace, Crimea, Russia
The Khan's Palace or Khansaray is located in the town of Bakhchisaray, Crimea. It was built in the 16th century and became home to a succession of Crimean Khans. The walled enclosure contains a mosque, a harem, a cemetery, living quarters and gardens. The palace interior has been decorated to appear lived in and reflects the traditional 16th-century Crimean Tatar style. It is one of the Muslim palaces found in Europe.
The city of Bakhchisaray and the palace were commissioned by the Crimean Khan dynasty, who moved their capital here from Salaçıq in the first half of the 16th century. The palace's complex design and minarets were constructed in the 16th century by Ottoman, Persian and Italian architects. Later damages required partial reconstruction, but the structure still has a resemblance to its original form. Some buildings currently in the palace were attached later, while some of the original buildings could not stand past the 18th century.

Latvian National Opera - Boris Asafiev The Fountain of Bakhchisaray
Russian composer and leading 20th-century musicologist Boris Asafievs ballet The Fountain of the Bakhchisaray is a poetic story of loves various faces: passion, jealousy, cruelty, and tenderness. Maria, the daughter of a Polish magnate, inflames the heart of the Crimean Khan Girey, who kidnaps Maria and takes her back to his harem. Here, Maria is thrown into the midst of a psychological war; in a fit of rage and jealousy, Girey's wife, Zarem, attacks and kills the Polish girl. Khan Girey tries to soothe his pain by gazing into the Fountain of Tears, whose bubbling water brings him back to his past, and his feelings once again come to life.

The Fountain of Bakhchisarai 1953
The Fountain of Bakhchisarai (Russian: Бахчисарайский фонтан) is a Russian ballet inspired by the 1823 poem by Alexander Pushkin of the same title. With music by Boris Asafyev and choreography by Rostislav Zakharov, the ballet premiered in Saint Petersburg, (then Leningrad) in 1934 at the Kirov Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet (now the Mariinsky Theatre).
Bakhchisarai is in the Crimea, near Yalta. Bakhchisarai Palace was originally built in the sixteenth century and has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt since. The fountain, which actually exists, is called the Fountain of Tears.
In the film version the roles were danced by Galina Ulanova as Maria, Maya Plisetskaya as Zarema, Pyotr Gusev as Khan Girey, and Yuri Zhdanov as Vaslav. This is the only known footage of Ulanova and Plisetskaya, who succeeded Ulanova as prima ballerina assoluta of the Bolshoi Theatre, dancing together.
Khan Palace in Bakhchisaray
It’s no big deal these days to see a new building or construction being erected by people and architects from various countries and nationalities. That’s exactly what happened back in the 15th century, when Khan’s Palace was build by Italian, Iran, Turkish, Ukrainian and Russian craftsmen. This is why the whole complex has many different styles and appearances.
Khan’s Palace was built as the residence of the Giray dynasty that reigned over the Crimean Khanate. For two and a half centuries (from 1530’s to 1783) the Bakhchisaray palace served as the centre of political, spiritual, and cultural life for the Crimean Tatars. Unfortunately, the palace has not survived in its original form. It was burned by troops of Field Marshal Munich after taking Bakhchisaray in 1736. After this fire, the palace was rebuilt in an even more luxurious state. However, after the annexation of Crimea to Russia, numerous repairs and alterations began and the unique oriental flavour was lost. Restorations were made in 1960 and with great effort the palace became closer to its original look than it had been for hundreds of years. A museum complex includes the Museum of History and Culture of the Crimean Tatars, an Art Museum, an Exhibition of Weapons and Firearms, and the Sary-Guzel Leisure Complex.
To get inside the palace from the main street (Lenina) - cross Churuk-Su River by the bridge and you’ll find yourself right in front of a gate that leads into a wide, stone paved courtyard. Here locals will offer to dress you in clothing of the Crimean khans, their wives, or concubines. The oldest surviving part of the palace is the portal of iron doors in the Embassy courtyard. Through these doors ambassadors would enter Khan’s apartment. Walking around the complex of the palace you will see a courtyard with two fountains: The Golden Fountain (Magbuz) and the Fountain of Tears. We do not know how much you are familiar with Russian literature, but we cannot fail to mention what guides usually say. The Fountain of Tears owes its universal fame and popularity to Alexander Pushkin, who wrote “The Fountain of Bakhchisaray” poem. The ladies’ part of the Palace, the harem, is also open to visitors. Wives, concubines, and female relatives of the Khan lived here. A family cemetery of the former rulers of Crimea is located in the nearby Bijuk-Khan-Jami mosque. The Bakhchisaray Khan Palace has recently begun the process to join the UNESCO World Heritage List. Tours to the Chufut-Kale cave city can be organised in the Palace’s ticket office.

Fontan lyubvi, fontan zhivoy!

Lyublyu nemolchnïy govor tvoy

Tvoya serebryanaya pïl
Menya kropit rosoyu khladnoy:
Akh, leysa, leysa, klyuch otradnïy!
Zhurchi, zhurchi svoyu mne bïl ...
Fontan lyubvi, fontan pechalnïy!
I ya tvoy mramor voproshal;
Khvalu strane prochel ya dalnoy;
No o Marii tï molchal ...
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Fountain of love, fountain of life!
I bring you two roses as a gift.
I love your never-ending song,
your tears so full of poetry.
Your silvery spray
sprinkles me with cooling dew:
oh, flow on, spring of pleasure!
Sing away, tell me your stories.
Fountain of love, fountain of sorrow!
I have questioned your marble form
and heard praise of a far-away land,
but of Maria you are silent ...

The True Story behind the song :
The story of The Fountain of Bakhchisaray begins in the city called Bakhchisaray, Crimea, Ukraine in the 1700's. One of the last Crimean Kahns, Quian Girey, was a fierce Mongolian warrior who had a harem full of women. After one violent raid he took a group of young Polish women prisoner. Quian, a brutal, unfeeling man, fell in love with one of the fair skinned women named Maria, and tried to win her affection. His love for this outsider enraged his favorite wife in the harem and she plotted to kill Maria. Despite his unmoved cruelty, he was grievous and wept when Maria died, astonishing all those who knew him.
When the Kahn found out his favorite wife was the murderer, he ordered her death as well. Then he commissioned a marble fountain to be made in memory of the two beautiful women he loved, so that the rock would weep, like him, forever.
(the first part is partially speculation, but it is a fact that the fountain was commissioned by the Kahn for his love, Maria, and originally stood at the location of her gravesite)
The fountain is fashioned from the side of a marble wall. The water flows from the wall, pooling in small marble cups as each overflows to the next, like the tears of the Kahn.

Viking River Cruise: Magnificent Bachtschisarai/Bakhchisaray Palace
It is approximately a one-hour drive from Sebastopol to Bachtschisari/Bakhchisaray for an included tour of the Khan's Palace of Hansaray. The drive passed through vineyard areas, monastery caves that have been closed for eons, residential dachas; the Soviets referred to their weekend houses as dachas. Not only was there no public transportation in this area but also no water supply. People have to walk to a water tank and then carry water back to houses.
Bakhchysarai/Bakchisaray was founded in 1532 as the main residence of the dynasty that ruled the Crimean Khanate. The complex includes: Pushkin's Famous Fountain of Tears, the Palace gardens, harems, mosques and other buildings. It was a long, included Viking Tour that took three videos that still shows only a small portion of what we saw.
This Middle Eastern architecture is unique and is considered, along with the Alhambra and Topkapi Palaces, to represent the Middle East in Europe.
