In 1911 the state of old general , who participated in Russian -Turkish war ,located on a top aof the cliff and called “castle of love” was bought from merchant Romanova by oil magnate Baron fon Schtengel. He built a little castle in Gothic style with little towers and named it ’Swallows Nest” in 1912. 2 years after merchant Shalaputin bought it from the oil- magnate and opened a restaurant in it. In 1927 there was an earthquake that damaged the cliff .40 years later it was restored and new restaurant was open again. Nowadays it’s expensive Italian restaurant and I didn’t sea anyone inside during day time, maybe you will be lucky enough to try it ,I didn‘t risk., but enjoyed the view . The cliff is 40 meters tall and very stiff.
