Давньогрецька Гермонаса
Давньогрецька Гермонаса, Archaeological site in Taman, Russia.
The archaeological complex includes remains of ancient walls, foundations, and artifacts spanning multiple centuries of continuous settlement on the Azov Sea coast.
Founded in the 6th century BCE as Hermonassa, the settlement became the capital of Tmutarakan principality under Kievan Rus control in the 10th century.
The excavation site reveals layers of Greek, Byzantine, Khazar, and Russian civilizations through discovered ceramics, tombstones, and architectural elements.
The archaeological museum displays artifacts from excavations and operates daily except Mondays from 9:00 to 18:00 in summer and 9:00 to 17:00 in winter.
The site continues to reveal new discoveries as coastal erosion forces archaeologists to conduct rapid excavations before parts of the ancient city fall into the sea.
