About Central hill
What are the main landmarks in Central hill?
St. Vladimir's Cathedral stands at the top of the hill. Its dome and cross are visible from the streets that circle below it, and вулиця Леніна runs the museum side, past the Museum of the Black Sea Fleet. The Mikhail Kroshitsky Sevastopol Art Museum sits on проспект Нахімова. Велика Морська carries the Cathedral of Intercession of the Theotokos and the Catholic Church of St. Clement.
Beyond the promenade below, the Sunken Ships Monument stands offshore.
What is the history of Central hill?
Sevastopol's centre took shape on this rise. The city grew outward from the hill, and the ring of Велика Морська, вулиця Леніна and проспект Нахімова still traces the plan the early town laid across the slope. Two sieges crossed this ground.
The Siege of Sevastopol left the quarter in rubble, and St. Vladimir's Cathedral rose above a crypt holding the admirals of the defence, Nakhimov among them, whose name the seafront avenue carries.
Where is Central hill?
Central hill fills the inner ring drawn by Велика Морська, вулиця Леніна and проспект Нахімова, its ground falling north toward the harbour of Sevastopol.
