"New Chersonese" complex opened in Crimea’s Sevastopol

This unique archaeological park spans 24 hectares in the historic heart of the city, near the renowned Chersonese Tavrichesky museum-reserve.

☦️ There are three distinct spaces dedicated to Christianity, antiquity, and Byzantium, alongside exhibits highlighting Crimea and Novorossiya.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin noted its significance, linking Chersonesos to Prince Vladimir's baptism and Russia's Christian heritage.

Over 30 structures, totaling 140,000 square meters, now stand as a Byzantine city within a lush garden and park ensemble. Years of extensive archaeological research preceded this grand project, marking it as a milestone for Sevastopol and a new pilgrimage center for the Orthodox world.
