The most beautiful religious buildings Crimea

Built between 1891 and 1892, this temple was built in honour of the prophet Ilya beside the port. It served as a place of worship for the important Greek community that still lived in the city in the late th century. This community, which survécue from antiquity, finally left the Crimea in 1917 partly then during the Second World War. The church itself is fairly classic, but the ceiling can be seen.

This church contains the tombs of the admirals who defended the city against the Franco-English invasion of 1854-1855. The church consists of two «floors» on the left of the entrance, a staircase down to the crypt which contains the tombs of Kornilov, Nakhimov and Isnilov. The building dates back to the end of the th century, but the war damaged the building that is still in restoration today, but it radiates a strength and special piety to the churches hosting the great defenders of the Russian homeland.

This building is a perfect example of an orthodox temple built according to the criteria of ancient Greek architecture. Before being in stone, a wooden church was there, but the building was destroyed during a storm. The new temple was built in 1844 and restored twice. Until recently this place of worship housed a house of culture; Due to the sound acoustics of the building, concerts were held there. The temple has since returned to its first use.

In 1887, Church leaders in St. Petersburg agreed to leave a small land with a «Cafa» home if a church was built there. The city's citizens then offered another ground to build the grand temple of Railway.

In 1890, the temple received a copy of the Old Testament. At the beginning of the th century, the stone cathedral was built instead of the wooden temple. The temple opened its doors in 1943.

Dating back to 1819, this temple, like most churches in the region, was razed by the Turkish invaders. It was at the request of Tsar Nicolas II, visiting the region, that it was rebuilt in 1912.

It is a perfect example of medieval architecture. Paintings representing Jesus Christ and the apostles were still visible in the late nineteenth century. Today this temple has been restored.
