Suvorov 3 www.sntvladimir.ru/

Orthodox cathedral in neo-Byzantine style, in which such prominent Russian admirals as V.A. Kornilov, V.I. Istomin and P.S. Nakhimov, who died during the defense of Sevastopol in 1854-1855. (it is often called the "First Defense", so as not to be confused with the battles of 1941-1942). The temple dates back to 1825: Admiral A.S., commander of the Black Sea Fleet at that time, commanded it. Greig asked Alexander I to erect a monument on the site of Chersonesos, where Prince Vladimir was baptized. His petition was accepted, and in 1829 a competition was announced for the best design of the monument, which eventually decided to build in the city center. At that time, Admiral M.P. was in charge of the Black Sea Fleet. Lazarev (his burial is also located in the cathedral), and it was he who advocated a change of place, since at that time there were few Orthodox churches in Sevastopol. Construction began in 1854 and was suspended due to hostilities in Sevastopol. Under Soviet rule, in 1931, participants in the Osoaviahim (Society for the Defense, Aircraft and Chemical Construction Assistance) movement uncovered a burial vault and destroyed the remains of military leaders. In 1991, after a thorough examination of the crypt, fragments of the remains were found, which were buried with all honors a year later.

Panorama "Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855."

Historical Boulevard 1
 

One of the largest panoramas in the world, a key object of the State Museum of Heroic Defense and Liberation of Sevastopol. It was created by the founder of Russian panoramic art, the master of battle painting F.A. Roubaud. The basis of his creation, he took the battle on the Malakhov Hill on July 6, 1855, when the Russian 75,000th army managed to repel the onslaught of the powerful 173,000th Anglo-French army. Work on the creation of the panorama began in 1901: in Sevastopol, the artist carefully studied historical documents, talked with participants in those dramatic events and visited the places of military operations in order to get a complete picture of what was happening and convey it to the audience in great detail. In 1904, on the 50th anniversary of the defense of the city, the panorama was open to visitors. The best reward for the artist was the reaction of veterans of the Sevastopol battles, who were incredibly touched by the monumentality, expressiveness and historical authenticity of the work, and now evokes awe and a deep respect for the dead. In 1942, during the shelling, a bomb hit the panorama building, the canvas caught fire and lost some of its parts, which were later restored from archival photographs. Of course, not without new artistic solutions and scenes that were absent on the original canvas of Roubaud. In the niches of the panorama museum building you will see busts of the heroes of the battle for Sevastopol: at least for a few minutes linger in front of them in order to honor the memory of the brave defenders. and now causing awe and a feeling of deep respect for the dead.

They began to call the “Count's” marina thanks to Count M.I. Voinovich, commander of the Black Sea Fleet in 1789-1790, who moored here when he returned from his home on the North Side.
