Санаторий им. А. П. Чехова, sanatorium in Yalta, Crimea
The Sanatorium named after A. P. Chekhov is a historic health facility in Yalta on the southern coast of Crimea, with buildings constructed from local stone surrounded by a maintained park. The grounds contain multiple structures from the early 20th century with modest functional architecture and pathways through gardens with mature trees.
The sanatorium was established in 1902 after Chekhov gathered donations to create a house for tuberculosis patients. Over the decades, the facility expanded, became part of a larger Soviet health network during that era, and was merged with a neighboring health facility in 1957.
The sanatorium is named after Anton Chekhov, the famous writer who lived in Yalta and worked to help tuberculosis patients. The site today still shows traces of his efforts through the old buildings and the peaceful park setting that once served as a place for recovery.
The grounds are easily accessible and located near the center of Yalta with access to the beach and local attractions. Visitors can walk through the park and explore the architecture and gardens without special requirements or restrictions.
A bust of Chekhov was placed near the main building in 1969 to honor his role in founding the facility. A marble plaque at the entrance describes his contributions to the sanatorium's history and shows how deeply the writer shaped the place.
