Peter and Paul Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Sevastopol, Russia.
The limestone building features classical columns and a triangular pediment, differentiating it from traditional Orthodox architectural designs.
The French army removed original sculptures of Peter and Paul during the Crimean War of 1853-1856, leaving only replicas at the entrance.
The structure changed functions multiple times, serving as a church until 1931, then becoming an archive and later housing the Lunacharsky theater.
The church returned to religious service in 2006 and currently welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.
The building follows the design of the ancient temple of Theseus in Athens, making it an uncommon example of Greek revival in Orthodox architecture.
