Bakhchysarai, Former Crimean Khanate capital in Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine
Located at 300 meters elevation, Bakhchysarai extends along valleys between limestone ridges with traditional stone buildings and narrow streets.
Founded in 1532 by Sahib I Giray, the city remained the political center of Crimean Tatars until Russian incorporation in 1783.
The Khan's Palace, constructed in 1519, represents the main architectural heritage of Crimean Tatar culture with its minarets and courtyards.
The central railway station connects Bakhchysarai to Simferopol and Sevastopol, with regular train services operating throughout the day.
The Uspensky Cave Monastery, carved into limestone cliffs, contains multiple chambers across several levels with preserved medieval religious paintings.
