Old Crimea city attractions on the map. Old Crimea - attractions

Old Crimea- marvelous beautiful place Crimea We found ourselves in some kind of lost World, there was a feeling that you were alone with the sky, with the heady air, the Sun, there was no crowd, and there were more than 20 of us; everything is so calm, as if everything has stopped, you don’t even feel yourself. And so we moved towards the Surb Khach monastery complex. It is almost seven centuries old. He had to suffer a lot to preserve this spiritual value - the Temple of the Holy Sign, a piece of Armenia. The founding date of the Temple is considered to be 1358. So, this monastery complex was named after the Holy Cross of the Lord. The stones, as faithful guardians of the history of this monastery, testify: the temple was built by the monk Hovhannes Sebastatsi, who came with his brothers and disciples to the Crimean peninsula in the first half of the 14th century. from Sebastia. Manuscripts about the activities of Hovhannes have been preserved and are located in Matenadaran (Yerevan). The monastery was the spiritual center of the Crimean Armenians; in the middle of the 14th century. Armenians made up the majority of the population in Solkhat (the former name of Old Crimea and as the capital of the peninsula - until 1443, when the capital of the Crimean Khanate was moved to Bakhchisarai). In addition to the Surb Nshan temple, you can also see the refectory, the manuscript workshop, and the building of fraternal cells (at the time of our visit, in March 2017, they were under restoration). From the guide’s story, it was clear that they were built with the understanding that everyone who came here would be given the opportunity to fully communicate with God and many others. etc., which can be described, but it is better to visit Old Crimea. The monastery underwent many tragic events, including the Soviet period, and only in 1992. The reconstruction of the monastery began as a cultural heritage of the Armenian people. What else is notable on the territory of the monastery? These are sources with mountain spring water, with a beneficial effect on spiritual and physical health (in the hope that the fountains will start working after the reconstruction of this complex). In honor of the 650th anniversary of the monastery (2008), the Catholicos of All Armenians illuminated the Surb-Nshan Church and presented the monastery with a memorial khachkar; see also khachkars, made of Yerevan material in such a beautiful color, donated to the monastery on the anniversary date, are greeted on the approaches to the monastery. See the photo of the monastery, as well as the pine tree, “inviting” you to climb the path to the monastery. And I will also recommend you an interesting book, with love for Old Crimea - author A. Potienko Old Crimea: a city of museums, city-museum, Simferopol, Publishing house. "Share", 2015 And the most important thing is to visit the Sudak TC - from there you can travel for a week, scheduling excursions by day only to Old Crimea. left me indelible impression(and I’ll be back...) Later I’ll write about other attractions of Crimea April 20 2017 Mariam

When you start looking at the map where Old Crimea is located, it is likely that you will not be very interested in this city, since it does not go to the sea. But do not rush to abandon the trip, because the medieval buildings and ancient buildings, which are a dime a dozen there, will more than compensate you. This eastern corner of Crimea has a lot of interesting and educational things for tourists.

The city of Old Crimea and its interesting places

A trip to the Armenian Monastery will be a discovery for you in Old Crimea, because this is almost the most beautiful building of Armenian architecture, and it is very reminiscent of buildings in Armenia itself. This is the only building that has survived and retained its grandeur. Like many other buildings, the Armenian monastery in Old Crimea is shrouded in legend, according to which the place of construction was indicated from above in the form of a cross in the sky. The beauty will definitely be appreciated by lovers of religious monuments.

An antelope park will be an excellent place for a walk in Old Crimea with the whole family. The cool thing about this Safari Ranch is that there are no enclosures or cages. You will be able to walk through the most beautiful expanses of the mountains, and the animals will just walk next to you. In short, communication with nature and fully organized leisure time are guaranteed to you.

And again we return to the legends of Old Crimea and the legend about the chapel of St. Panteleimon. According to the stories of the guides and the legend, the tired, exhausted traveler was saved by the saint, who showed him the way to the healing spring and thereby saved his life.

Among the attractions of Old Crimea are the ruins of mosques. One of them is considered the oldest on the entire peninsula. It is called the Sultan Baybars Mosque. This representative of the Bahri dynasty at one time stopped the invasion of the Tatar-Mongols.

The Uzbek mosque has also been preserved in the city of Old Crimea. Its full name is the mosque of the Khan of the Golden Horde of Uzbekistan. This is one of the main attractions of Old Crimea and it has been preserved quite well. The structure itself seems majestic, and even the incomprehensible Arabic inscriptions that decorate the tombstones around the mosque contribute to the overall image of the mosque.

If you have already enjoyed all the monuments of the city, do not rush to leave these places. Today, traditional excursions are gradually disappearing and instead of a bus, the capricious tourist is offered a ride on a horse or a jeep. For example, a quad bike ride along the Silk Road. By the way, the last part of the trip program is the Armenian monastery. So even without the sea and any luxurious palace complexes, tourists have something to do in Old Crimea.

Very small and very provincial... Old Crimea. History has decreed that this city has lost its former greatness over the centuries. Now it is one of the smallest cities in Crimea with a population of less than 10 thousand people, which is administratively subordinate to the village of Kirovskoye (Islyam-Terek). And there was a time when Old Crimea was a large medieval city and was even the capital of the Crimean ulus of the Golden Horde.

Old Crimea is located in the eastern part of the Crimean Peninsula. The highway connecting Simferopol and Feodosia passes through it. If you are following this route, why not stop in the town and see the sights of Old Crimea, which are hundreds of years old, and it will also take no more than two hours.

Several years ago, as a group of fifteen people, we rented a minibus and went from Sevastopol to Old Crimea. Among us was a great connoisseur of history and a lover of traveling around Crimea, who compiled our route and also found a local guide who gave us a wonderful excursion. In Old Crimea we visited - the Mosque of Khan Uzbek, the ruins of the Baybars mosque, the ruins of an ancient Christian church, the church and chapel with the holy spring of Panteleimon the Healer, the city cemetery where many famous people are buried, including Alexander Greene, not far from the Old Crimea - the Armenian monastery of Surb -Khach, ruins of the Armenian monastery of Surb Stefanos. It turned out to be such a religious tour, but we were more interested in history.

Old Crimea is located in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges inner ridge Crimean mountains: from the north - Agarmysh (725 m), from the south - the higher Karasan-Oba ridge. Natural conditions made this area attractive for human life. The fact that the valley has been inhabited since ancient times is evidenced by many archaeological finds. These include flint tools, clay shards and even burial grounds with stone tombs. Around the city there are mounds left by the Kemiobin, Taurus, and Scythian tribes. Many traces of ancient settlements have been discovered, scattered throughout time, starting from the 9th century BC. These settlements were not full-fledged cities, therefore, today it is generally accepted that Old Crimea as a city appeared only in the 13th century. Probably, the settlements were even called something, but the name has already reached us medieval city, when it was called Kyrym and Solkhat. At least now, historians and archaeologists have come to a consensus that since the 13th century the city had these names, and at the same time. There are still disputes about their origin, the most reasonable version is that the name “Kyrym” came from the Turkic word meaning “ditch”, and “Solkhat” from the Italian “furrow, ditch”, since the city was surrounded by a ditch. It is possible that the Perekop ditch, separating the peninsula from the mainland, was meant. The Turkic population was local, inhabiting the steppe Crimea and the visiting Tatar-Mongols called the city “Kyrym”, and the Genoese living in the Genoese colonies on South coast Crimea - “Solkhat”.

In the first half of the 13th century, the Tatar-Mongols repeatedly raided the Crimean Peninsula, and gradually began to settle here. As a result, by the middle of the century, Crimea became one of the provinces (ulus) of the Golden Horde. The capital of the Crimean ulus, where the residence of the Golden Horde governor was located, appeared on the site of previously existing settlements in close proximity to the trading cities of the Genoese colonies of Caffa (Feodosia) and Soldaya (Sudak). After some time, Kyrym (Solkhat) became large shopping center, grew rapidly and actively developed. The 14th century was a “golden era” for him. At this time, many mosques and other buildings were built in the city, some of which have survived to this day. One of them and the most preserved is the Mosque of Khan Uzbek, which became the first point of our excursion route in Old Crimea.

The Uzbek Khan Mosque was built in 1314 during the first years of the reign of Uzbek Khan of the Golden Horde, during which Islam became the state religion of the Golden Horde. Now the mosque is operational, you can look inside. The interior space of the mosque is divided by two rows of faceted columns. Opposite the entrance there is a mihrab - a niche facing Mecca. This is the only colorful detail in the interior decoration.

The carved pattern of the mihrab has been preserved. It echoes the stone lace of the entrance portal.

On two sides of the mihrab there were originally windows, laid after a Muslim madrasah was built adjacent to the mosque, presumably in 1333 educational institution. Although, some researchers believe that this building is a tekie - a Muslim monastery.

Now the structure of the madrasah is very destroyed, but even from the surviving ruins, you can see what this building was like: square in plan with an internal open courtyard, around which there were cells - small rooms with narrow windows, like loopholes. Each of them was covered with an arched vault. Galleries stretched along the cells - canopies on stone supports.

The land of Old Crimea is interesting to explore. Already in 1925-26. An archaeological expedition worked here, the object of study of which was a madrasah. Now archaeologists are also working on its territory. The excavation site was covered with a special structure.

Not far from the Uzbek Khan Mosque are the ruins of the Baybars Mosque. Today there is no complete certainty that these are the ruins of a mosque built in 1287-88. with the money of the Sultan of Egypt Baybars I. However, it is believed that this is so. Why did Baybars send 2,000 dinars for the construction of a mosque in the Golden Horde province even before it adopted Islam? According to one version, he was a Polovtsian (Kipchak) by origin and a native of the Crimean steppes. From the surviving ruins one can only judge the size of the mosque, and not a trace remains of the former luxurious marble cladding.

Also near the mosque of Uzbek Khan are the ruins of a Christian church. On the wall of the church there is a plaque dating back to the times of the USSR, which indicates the period of construction of the temple in the 10th-12th centuries.

To date, it is not known exactly when the church was built (the time range of the X-XIV centuries is allowed), as well as its nationality. It is believed that the church was either Greek or Armenian. The temple is named after John the Baptist, on the days of celebration and veneration of which services are held right in the open air at the ancient walls of the church.

For its venerable age, the building is well preserved. In one of the walls, two arched windows protrude directly from the ground. This suggests that over a thousand (or so) years the ground level has risen greatly.

The ruins of the church are overgrown with ivy. If you don’t notice the houses nearby, you get a very atmospheric place.

A hundred meters from the ruins of the Church of John the Baptist, the Church of the Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon was recently built.

From an architectural point of view, the temple building is not of particular interest. In historical terms too. The same cannot be said about the chapel of the same name, located on the mountainside south of the city.

The first chapel of Panteleimon the Healer was built at the holy spring in 1893. The place where the source is located is considered a “place of power,” and the source itself, either due to chemical composition water, or due to the energy component has healing properties. At least some cases of healing are attributed to it (which I sincerely believe). The current chapel of St. Panteleimon was built in 2001, and is already the third (the first two burned down in 1904 and 1949).

The last point of our tour of Old Crimea was the city cemetery. What could be interesting in a small cemetery provincial town? Strangely enough, famous and even famous people found peace there. First of all, Alexander Green, whose grave is visited by fans of his talent.

In 1930, Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky (Green) and his wife Nina Nikolaevna moved to Old Crimea, where they bought a small house, which is now the A. Green House Museum. Before that, they lived in Feodosia for several years, but were forced to move to a cheaper place to live. The family was in great need, since Greene's works were no longer published due to inconsistency with Soviet ideology. Alexander Green was seriously ill and died on July 8, 1932. Initially, there was an unremarkable monument at his grave, but in 1980 another one was installed with a touching sculpture “Running on the Waves.”

During our visit, at Greene’s grave there was a notebook sheet of paper, weighed down by a pebble, with a message of gratitude to the writer.

“The whole earth, with everything that is on it, has been given to us for life, for the recognition of this life wherever it is.”

Thank you! Thank you! For magic and dreams!

She is from Sevastopol.

Others are buried at the Starokrymsky cemetery famous people: film playwright Alexei Kapler together with his wife, poetess Yulia Drunina, who bequeathed to bury themselves here; science fiction writer and engineer-inventor Vadim Okhotnikov; poet and translator Grigory Petnikov.

How to get there:

Old Crimea June 27th, 2015

Five years ago I didn’t even know such a city existed. When I first heard “Old Crimea”, I thought that it was something like “mountain Crimea” or “steppe Crimea”. But it turned out to be a city in the eastern part of Crimea. At all small town, only about ten thousand inhabitants, and terribly provincial. It stands at an altitude of 400 meters above sea level, in a valley, directly under Mount Agarmysh.
The photo shows the outskirts of Old Crimea, a new area that locals call the “Field of Miracles”. Why this is so, and what’s wonderful there, I don’t know yet, maybe on my next visit I’ll figure it out and let you know.

1. The road to Old Crimea from Simferopol.


Very beautiful landscapes Here. I stop every time to take photos. Drive 90 km from Simferopol. Two stripes. If there are few cars, you can fly in an hour, but usually it takes about an hour and a half, since there is often a continuous lane and overtaking is prohibited. Construction will begin in the near future new route, it will have at least 4 lanes, this is now a strategically important road, it goes from Kerch to Simferopol.

4. Cows on city streets are normal.

5. And this is the pharmacist’s house. Well, that is, it was built by a local pharmacist just before the 1917 revolution.


There was a pharmacy and a residential building here. Then the Bolsheviks expropriated the house, and then was located some kind of institution. And now this house is for sale. My wife liked it, and I even wanted to buy it a couple of years ago, but the owner set such a price that I abandoned the idea. So this house has not yet been sold.

6. These are the dead roads in the city.


This is a grave legacy (or inheritance) of the Ukrainian authorities. There was practically no improvement of the city in all post-Soviet times. In fairness, it must be said that the new authorities have not yet better side haven't changed. I was in Old Crimea for the last time two months ago, I saw that road workers were sluggishly swarming around on the central street - doing pothole repairs to the asphalt.

7. A beautiful new mosque at the entrance to Old Crimea.

8. And this is a beautiful old mosque. Built in 1314. This is one of the attractions of Old Crimea, called the Mohamed Uzbek Khan Mosque.


Uzbek Khan is the ruler of the Golden Horde. In Old Crimea, on his order, this mosque and madrasah were built. It's hard to believe, but once upon a time Old Crimea was a large and rich city, the capital of the Crimean Khanate. The city was then called Kyrym. The entire peninsula was named after it. Another ancient name city ​​- Solkhat, as the Genoese called it. And Prince Grigory Potemkin-Tavrichesky proposed renaming the city Levkopolis, Catherine II approved, but this name did not stick.

9. The Uzbek Mosque is operational, but entry is free for everyone, you just need to follow simple rules.

10. And this is what remains of the medieval madrasah. I hope it will be restored someday.

11. For some reason, the provincial Old Crimea attracted writers and poets. Voloshin, Tsvetaeva, Zabolotsky came here. Green, Paustovsky, and Drunina lived here for a long time. This is the house-museum of the writer Konstantin Paustovsky.

12. House-museum of the writer Alexander Green.

13. Local police department.

14. Music school and sculpture of a Crimean Tatar boy playing the flute.

15. Local fire department.

16. Cozy old Crimean courtyard.

17. One of the modern stylish houses in Old Crimea.

18. And there are such rich mansions here too.

19. And here, judging by the artistic pillars, either chess lovers or lovers of medieval fortresses live.

20. Wooden pediment with a peacock.

21. House of two snakes in love.

22. I don’t know the owners of this house, but I already like them...

23. What a cute garage door!

24. Local announcements.

26. In this photo I am with Petrovna

Crimea is a favorite holiday destination for many of us. Everyone has heard about his resorts. But not all tourists know about the existence of the city of Old Crimea on the peninsula. It is located in the east of the peninsula, between Feodosia and Sudak. For tourists, the sights of Old Crimea are of greatest interest. There are a lot of them in the city, since the village is one of the oldest on the peninsula.

A little about the city...

Old Crimea fully lives up to its name. The city is indeed very ancient, as evidenced by numerous finds made on its territory. The earliest of them date back to the Neolithic era. During construction work in the city center, household items from the 5th-4th centuries BC were found. e. The heyday of Old Crimea occurred in the thirteenth century, when the Golden Horde ruled the peninsula.

The city has a long and centuries-old history. An interesting fact is locality changed its name 21 times. Once upon a time it was Crimea, Solkhat, Levkopolis, etc. For the first time, the Kizil-Koba tribes settled in this territory, which was replaced by representatives of the Tauri, and then the Scythians. Archaeological finds allow historians to say that Old Crimea was part of the Bosporan kingdom. In the fourth century the city was destroyed by the Huns. Life in the village was revived only after the arrival of the Genoese in the 8th-9th centuries. They created a city which they called Salkhat. After the arrival of the Armenians, the village received the name Surkhat. And the Tatar conquerors renamed the city in their own manner, making it Crimea, since it was surrounded by a ditch. In Tatar, ditch is kyrym.

Prosperous population east coast Crimea attracted the attention of the Golden Horde. After the conquest of the lands by the Tatar-Mongols, the city became the residence of the governor of the Crimean Khan. While the construction of the palace in Bakhchisarai was underway, Salkhat served as the capital. After the Crimean-Turkish War, the city was deserted, and its population scattered across the peninsula, and some moved to Turkey.

By the end of the eighteenth century, the city was completely rebuilt in a modern way. Straight streets and merchant houses appeared in it. Currently, the seaside town attracts the attention of tourists with its attractions. Old Crimea is located on the Kerch-Simferopol highway. Its population is 10 thousand people.

What to see in Old Crimea? The multinational city is interesting from the point of view of architecture and museums. There are quite a lot of the latter in Old Crimea. Guests have the opportunity to visit Green's house museum. The famous writer lived here with his wife since 1930. The location was not chosen casually. Since the writer suffered from tuberculosis, the local climate could ease the course of the disease. Therefore, the couple purchased a house in Old Crimea by selling a gold watch. It was this city that became last refuge Greena. He has been here for the last two years, during which he has not stopped working on his works. I didn’t have time to finish writing my last novel because I was working on it while seriously ill.

And only many years later a museum was opened in the house, thanks to the efforts of the writer’s wife. Now the house is one of the attractions of Old Crimea. By visiting it, you can learn a lot of new things from the writer’s life, as well as see his personal belongings.

Another attraction of Old Crimea is the Paustovsky House Museum, located on the same street as the Green Museum. It is worth noting that Paustovsky never lived in this city. Being a fan of Green’s work, he simply visited Old Crimea to visit the writer’s grave.

During his visits, Paustovsky stayed in different houses in the city. In one of them, a museum named after him was later organized, the exhibition of which includes household items and belongings of the writer.

Literary and Art Museum

One of the most interesting attractions of Old Crimea (Crimea) can be safely called the literary and art museum, within the walls of which you can learn everything about the history of the city. The establishment is located within the walls of an old mansion. The museum has several exhibitions, each of which tells about a certain segment of the history of Old Crimea and the peoples who once lived on these lands. Here guests can try real Tatar sweets and get acquainted with the history of celebrities who visited the city at different times.

Crimean Tatar Museum

Among the interesting sights of Old Crimea, it is worth highlighting the Ethnographic Museum. Within its walls the atmosphere of everyday life of Tatar houses is recreated. Visitors can not only see how the Tatars lived, but also drink oriental coffee and taste real oriental sweets.

Sanatorium "Old Crimea"

Sights and interesting places of Old Crimea are not limited to museums. On the territory of the city there is a sanatorium of the same name. A museum is organized within its walls, the collection of which consists of ethnographic, archaeological, historical and literary exhibits. The museum exposition tells visitors about the history of the region and the history of the sanatorium itself.

Surb-Khach

Among interesting places and sights of Old Crimea, tourists should pay attention to the Armenian monastery With beautiful name Surb-Khach. It is located three kilometers from the city, at the foot of Monastyrskaya Mountain. Historians believe that the ancient complex was built in the fourteenth century. The monastery appeared thanks to Hovhannes Sebastatsi, who saw a sign, after which he decided to begin construction work.

Surb-Khach, according to experts, is a striking example of Armenian architecture. On the territory of the monastery there is an ancient church, architectural style which is very reminiscent of Armenian churches of the 12-13 centuries. The appearance of churches on the peninsula was associated with the mass migration of Armenians. In the shortest possible time, 9 temples and 4 monasteries were built. But only Surb-Khach has survived to this day.

The first temple building was erected in 1358. Subsequently, it was rebuilt and changed several times. Over time, the temple became a place of pilgrimage, to which Armenians came from all over the peninsula. In 1778, the clergy left the church. The restoration of the ancient monastery began only in the eighteenth century. Later, all the monks were disbanded, and a pioneer camp was located within the walls of the monastery. Now the building has been restored and is open to tourists. Outsiders are not allowed into the active part of the temple, but you can see it from the outside and walk through the ancient buildings on the territory of the monastery.

Orthodox church

The Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin is another attraction of Old Crimea and the surrounding area. From an architectural point of view, the building is not of particular interest. But the legends and history of the temple are worthy of close attention. It is believed that the first chapel was built on this site in 1625. And only in 1784 work began on the construction of the Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin. Over the many years of its existence, the temple was rebuilt several times due to looting and destruction. Within its walls rest the relics of the Apostle Andrew the First-Called and Luke of Crimea.

The most ancient landmark of Old Crimea (photo given in the article) is the mosque of Uzbek Khan, the ruler of the Golden Horde. It was built in 1314. The structure has an elongated shape and a red tiled roof. The name of the khan is carved above the entrance to the building.

And not far from the temple there are the remains of a destroyed minaret. Around the mosque there are stone tombstones of burials from different periods. Interior decoration The building is designed in the style of a Byzantine basilica. In the first half of the last century, excavations were carried out here, during which hundreds of historical objects were found. And in 1987, a scientific expedition from the Hermitage worked, which examined the cultural objects of the Golden Horde.

Baybars Mosque

Some sights of Old Crimea (photos with descriptions are given in the article) are ancient buildings, which have miraculously survived to this day. The Baybars Mosque, for example, is considered the oldest Muslim building on the territory of the entire peninsula. It was erected in the thirteenth century by order of Sultan Baybars. According to historical documents, the building had a majestic appearance. However, only individual fragments of the walls, the thickness of which reaches 0.5 meters, have survived to this day.

The surviving elements allowed specialists to determine the size of the object. In the eighteenth century, there was a minaret near the building, which is depicted in one of the paintings by the artist Ivanov. It was later destroyed. On the territory of the ruins of the mosque, ongoing archaeological excavations.

Ecopark

Historical objects- are far from the only attractions of the city. Not far from it, in the village of Izyumovka, there is the Kozya Balka ecopark and safari ranch. The park territory covers an area of ​​about four hectares. The steppe expanses are home to animals and birds, among which there are many rare representatives of the Crimean peninsula.

Guests can admire llamas, roe deer, ponies and horses. Children are most delighted by the beautiful ostriches; eagles and peacocks are no less interesting. After a long walk through the park, guests are invited to have a snack in a covered tent, watch a bird show and ride a horse-drawn carriage. The park is great place For family vacation.

Historical places of the city

In Old Crimea, two Catherine's miles have been preserved, which at one time acted as a kind of road signs along the route of the Empress. One of the columns is located on the territory of the art and literary museum, and the second is on a military training ground near Mount Agarmysh.

But another object, built in the city for Catherine’s arrival, has not survived. Now you can only see the ruins of what was once an oriental-style fountain. The ensemble was complemented by a gazebo for tea drinking. None of these buildings have survived to this day.

The city has a central park, which is a favorite vacation spot for local residents and city guests.

Old Crimea is a small town with a long history and interesting historical monuments. Each of them is interesting in its own way. Architectural objects allow you to learn a lot of new and interesting things about the life of the city in different periods.

No less interesting are local museums, which will be of interest to those tourists who are interested in the history of the region and literature.
