Foros, Medical resort in Crimean Peninsula, Russia.
Foros is a general-medical sanatorium in the village of Foros, Greater Yalta, 50 km from Yalta and 40 km from Sevastopol. Its 14-storey main building, completed in 1988 to a design by architect Lobzin and architect Chirkov, stands 50 m from the sea: floors 1–4 hold administrative and treatment areas, floors 5–14 the guest rooms. The grounds include a 47-hectare park and a 200 m pebble beach.
In 1920 the Foros estate passed to the People's Commissariat for Social Security, where invalids rested and were treated. In 1924 it became a rest home for Leningrad textile workers, and after a 1929 visit by Nadezhda Krupskaya it was transferred to the Administration of the USSR Central Executive Committee. In 1945 the sanatorium was placed under the administration of the CPSU Central Committee, and from then on its infrastructure was steadily expanded.
The sanatorium maintains traditional Soviet health practices while incorporating contemporary medical approaches, following established daily treatment schedules for guests.
The resort offers specialized treatments through mineral therapy and rehabilitation programs under medical supervision. Visitors should expect a structured daily routine, as regular treatment sessions form the basis of recovery.
The 14-storey main building, completed in 1988 for 306 guests, was designed by architect Lobzin and architect Chirkov of TsNIIEP. Its construction by two military construction detachments made the older sleeping blocks No. 5 and 6 redundant.
