Chersonesus Taurica was founded 2,500 years ago by ancient Greek colonists on one of the southwestern peninsulas of the Crimea. The name means “a peninsula in the land of Tauri.”
For two thousand and five hundred years, the city and state enjoyed a long and glorious life and had a great impact on the history of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the Byzantine Empire.
The ruins are now one of the landmarks of Sevastopol. Every year hundreds of tourists visit this open-air museum and take pictures with its most famous sights. In the photo: an ancient court covered with snow.
