Simferopol, Administrative center in Crimea.
The city extends across the Salhir River valley at 350 meters elevation, with wide streets connecting three main districts through residential neighborhoods.
The settlement transformed from ancient Scythian Neapolis to Aqmescit, until Catherine the Great established Simferopol as a new administrative center in 1784.
The Central Museum of Taurida holds 150,000 artifacts documenting the historical periods of Crimea from prehistoric times through modern developments.
The Simferopol Railway Station operates as the main transportation hub of Crimea, connecting the peninsula with multiple destinations through regular services.
The Botanical Garden of Taurida National University maintains over 3000 plant species, including a substantial collection of Mediterranean flora.
