Chersonesus Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox church in Sevastopol, Russia
The massive brick cathedral exhibits Neo-Byzantine design with a central dome, multiple arches, and proportional side wings extending from the main structure.
The cathedral's construction, completed in 1891 under architect David Grimm, marks the location where Prince Vladimir reportedly received baptism in 987.
The cathedral houses religious artifacts, including a reproduction of the Korsun Mother of God icon, traditionally associated with Prince Vladimir's conversion.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors and worshippers, offering guided tours in multiple languages and regular Orthodox religious services throughout the week.
Located within the Tauric Chersonesos archaeological site, the cathedral stands above ancient Greek temple ruins discovered during 1827 excavations.
