One of the architectural masterpieces and symbols of modern Feodosia is rightly considered the famous pre-revolutionary villa of Solomon Samoilovich Crimea, known as Milos, built in the early last century. Solomon Crimea was a representative of one of the wealthiest Crimean families and held a significant position in society in the early 20th century. Living in luxury, he spared no expense and decided that one villa was not enough, so he almost simultaneously erected several villas on the Black Sea coast. He entrusted the design of the Milos villa to the renowned Russian architect Mikhail Fyodorovich Piskunov, who actively worked in Crimea and Kharkiv and was popular among wealthy Russians.

Construction of the villa began in 1911, carried out by Turkish workers, and by 1913, Piskunov's project was fully completed. The villa was built in the neoclassical style and resembled outstanding architectural examples from Western Europe. The two-story mansion became one of the most beautiful on the peninsula due to its rare architectural solutions and exquisite forms, as well as numerous statues of ancient Greek gods and famous folk heroes. A particular pride of the owner was the magnificent rotunda with a statue of Venus, which, unfortunately, has not survived to this day. However, the owner could enjoy these beauties for only a few years, as the onset of the Civil War left little room for architectural refinements. Solomon Samoilovich opposed the Bolsheviks and was forced to leave his homeland in April 1919, along with the family of his friend, Minister Vladimir Nabokov. As for the villa, it was looted and later converted into a sanatorium, which still operates there today. Unlike another villa of Solomon Crimea, the Milos villa has been properly restored and continues to delight visitors with its beauty.
