Brotherhood Cemetery, Cemetery in Sevastopol, Ukraine
Brotherhood Cemetery is a burial ground in Sevastopol, Ukraine. It covers a sloping area with rows of stone markers and paths that wind among old trees.
The cemetery was established in the 1850s after the Crimean War to bury soldiers from both sides. Later, it became a resting place for local residents and was expanded in the 20th century.
The name Brotherhood Cemetery comes from the common graves of soldiers who died in the Crimean War. Today, visitors can see old Orthodox crosses and memorials that local people still tend.
The cemetery is open to visitors during daylight hours. Wear comfortable shoes because the ground is uneven and some paths are steep.
Among the graves, you can find a memorial to French soldiers who died during the Siege of Sevastopol. The cemetery also has a small chapel that is easy to miss at the far end.
