Bell of Chersonesos, Historical bell at Chersonesos Archaeological Reserve, Sevastopol, Russia
The Bell of Chersonesos, weighing 5.5 tons and cast from Turkish cannons, stands prominently at the Chersonesos Archaeological Reserve near the Black Sea coast.
After being taken as a trophy during the Crimean War in 1856, the bell was transported to Paris and remained at Notre-Dame Cathedral until 1913.
The bell's surface features detailed engravings of Saint Nicholas and another saint, reflecting its importance to maritime navigation and Orthodox religious practices.
Visitors can find the Bell of Chersonesos at 1 Drevnyaya Street in Sevastopol, with the archaeological site open daily from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM.
The bell served dual purposes as both a religious instrument for monastery prayers and a fog signal to warn ships about dangerous coastal rocks.
