In the immediate surroundings of Sevastopol, there are several important archeological districts. Those who like walking along historical places have an opportunity to visit the ruins of the old city called Chersonesus Taurica. Some researches suppose that this old Greek town was founded in the 5th century BC and had existed for over 1.5 thousand years. Consequently, the city was completely destroyed by nomadic tribes. Its ruins were found only in the 19th century. Now, most of the old constructions are restored in the archeological area. The interesting monument in antique style is the Tower of the Winds built in the 19th century. Originally, the tower was built for the local library but it was destroyed in a large fire in 1955. The tower decorated with interesting bas-reliefs has been survived to this day and now is one of the main values of the city. The beautiful historic building of the late 19th century is occupied by the Sevastopol Art Museum. It houses the unique collection of sculptures, paintings, and drawings of world-famous masters. Here, you can see works of great masters of Flemish Painting School and of famous Renaissance artists. The museum presents the exhibits of different periods. Some of them are aged over 300 years.

The first written references to it date back to the 8th century.
