Sevastopol, Naval port city in Crimea, Ukraine.

The city extends along eight deep-water inlets on the southwestern edge of the Crimean Peninsula at the Black Sea coast.

The Russian Empire established Sevastopol in 1783 as a naval base, which later endured significant battles during the Crimean War and World War II.

The Panorama Museum displays a 360-degree painting that depicts the defense of Sevastopol during the Crimean War of 1854-1855.

The Mediterranean climate allows year-round visits to maritime attractions, including the Naval Museum and the ancient ruins of Chersonesus Taurica.

The Malakhov Kurgan memorial complex contains multiple burial grounds of French, British, and Russian soldiers from the Crimean War period.
