35th Coast Battery

The 35th Coast Battery is a war memorial and museum complex with underground casemates and military fortification structures across a large site. The facility contains exhibition halls and preserved underground chambers where soldiers once worked and sheltered.

The fortification was built in the early 1900s to protect the Black Sea Fleet and saw major fighting during a significant conflict. It became one of the last defense positions during a siege of the nearby city.

The site serves as a place where locals and visitors remember those who died defending the city. The chapel and memorial areas show how this place remains important to people living in the region.

Visitors can explore the underground passages and galleries, though the paths are uneven and sometimes narrow in places. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to walk through the complex at a steady pace.

The site preserves original military equipment that visitors can see today, offering a direct look at daily soldier life. Some chambers remain exactly as they were left, bearing traces of the people who once worked in them.
