Gorgippia Museum, Archaeological museum in Anapa, Russia

The Gorgippia Museum contains excavated ruins of an ancient Greek city spread across two hectares in central Anapa, displaying architectural remains from different periods.

The site reveals the remains of Gorgippia, a major Bosporan Kingdom port city established by Greek colonists in the 4th century BC and destroyed in 240 AD.

The museum exhibits gold jewelry, ceramics, stone products, weapons, and household items that showcase daily life in this ancient Black Sea trading center.

Maps and exhibitions throughout the museum detail the development of the Bosporan Kingdom, with sarcophagi and tombstones displayed in the outdoor courtyard.

Excavations at the site uncovered 60 ancient houses with preserved foundations, making it one of the most complete Greek settlement remains in the Black Sea region.
