ituated just above the southwestern tip of the Crimea Peninsula, on the shores of a natural harbor, is Sebastopol, a treasure-house of historic monuments. 
     You will certainly admire a circular Panorama "The Defense of Sebastopol in the Crimean War," painted by Rubo or the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul (1843), whose classical facade resembles the Theseion of Athens.
     Any exploration of the city will not be complete without visiting the Malakhov Hill with it's restored fortifications and the Eternal Flame in honor of Russian and Soviet naval heroes.
