Church of the Twelve Apostles
Church of the Twelve Apostles, Medieval church within Genoese Fortress in Sudak, Ukraine.
The Church of the Twelve Apostles stands at a high point within the Genoese Fortress complex, featuring traditional Byzantine architectural elements and stone walls.
Built during the 14th century, the church functioned as the primary religious center for Genoese merchants who controlled the Black Sea trade routes.
The stone structure contains preserved medieval frescoes that demonstrate the artistic traditions and religious practices of the Genoese period in Crimea.
The church opens daily from 9 AM to 7 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain its architectural and historical features.
The church walls incorporate construction techniques that merge Italian architectural methods with local Black Sea building traditions of the medieval period.
