They were left without ammunition, water or food, and many were wounded. The brutal air attack for 2 weeks did not break the heroic spirit.

The three-story building has a bar terrace with a delightful colonnade. The elegant six-story tower, topped by a long spire, houses four large dials.

Monument to P.S. Nakhimov
- Address: Nakhimov Square. Transport stop "Nakhimov Square".
Monument to the famous naval commander, a worthy successor to the glorious deeds of the great Russian admirals F.F. Ushakova and M.P.

At its grand opening, dedicated to the 45th anniversary of the defeat of the Turkish fleet at Sinop, Emperor Nicholas II was personally present. During the years of revolutionary nihilism, the bronze sculpture was removed from its pedestal and melted down.
However, in 1959 the monument was exactly restored. The figure of Pavel Stepanovich, who gave his life for Sevastopol, rises 13.5 m. He is depicted dressed in an admiral's overcoat. In one hand Ushakov holds a telescope, and the second rests on the handle of a broadsword.

Tower of the Winds

Ironically, it outlived the building of which it was part of the ventilation system. In 1955, the library was destroyed by fire, but the elegant structure with luxurious mythological bas-reliefs still adorns the city.
Catherine's Mile

Several unique monuments have survived on the peninsula to this day. The Sevastopol Mile is a small limestone column, taking the shape of a hexagon in the central part and ending in an elegant cone.
Monument to V.A. Kornilov
- Address: Malakhov Kurgan. Transport stop "Malakhov Kurgan".
A monument to another hero of the Crimean War - Vice Admiral V.A. Kornilov, who led the First Defense of Sevastopol until his last breath, was opened in 1895.

On a diorite plinth there is a pedestal depicting a fragment of a fortress wall pierced by cannonballs. A sculpture of the already mortally wounded Kornilov is placed on it.

Chorgunsky bridge-aqueduct
- Address: Chernaya River.
The now abandoned water bridge across the Black River near Sevastopol, due to its main function, is called an “aqueduct”, in the ancient Roman manner.

The construction of the bridge ended in 1853, when the Crimean War began, an important stage of which was the defense of the city.

At night, the lighthouse is illuminated. The Chersonesos lighthouse is notable as the site of the last battles during the defense of the city during the Great Patriotic War. Rumor has it that his “patron” is Nicholas the Wonderworker; during the battles for the city, the face of the saint allegedly “appeared above the lighthouse.” Of course, this is nothing more than a legend.

Planning your trip budget
Although the tourist season is in decline, prices for housing, services and products are decreasing slightly. Tatyana from Perm spoke about this in her review:
“I bought products at the Central market” and in stores. Prices are significantly higher than ours in Perm. The market had products from farmers (milk, cheeses, sausages) - everything was of high quality. But they have a keen eye for tourists - they charge extra fees, and the cost varies on different days. Sometimes I even got into arguments with sellers. But overall everything is delicious, and the people are friendly.”
