Sights of Evpatoria: from the Middle Ages to the present

One of the attractive cities that occupies the territory on the coast of the Kalamitsky Gulf is Evpatoria. The main feature of the resort is an excellent climate, thanks to which there are no strong storms or sharp drops in temperature. All the beaches here are sandy, and the coastal bottom is smooth and level, gradually leaving deep. But this is not all, what is attractive this resort. Attractions of Evpatoria impress visitors with a bizarre combination of traditions and novelty. Here you can not only luxuriate on the sandy beach, but also see a lot of interesting things, having made a fascinating walk around the city.

Looking at the sights of Evpatoria, it is recommended to make an excursion into the past, during which you can get acquainted with many medieval architectural structures and monuments. Among them is the Tekie Dervishes complex. This is the only Muslim monastery located on the territory of the Crimea. The construction of the buildings is dated 15-16 centuries. The monastery is an integral dome structure with numerous cells.

Interesting will be the Karaite kenasses. The complex consists of the Great and Lesser Kenassas (houses for prayers). This includes the building of a religious school and a canteen, where charity dinners are held, and several auxiliary buildings. Considering the sights of Evpatoria, one can not help but recall the Odun Bazar Capus (Wooden Bazaar Gate). The tower adjoins the gate. There is a small door Tesik. It was she who became a kind of a window into the past.

Nearby are other attractions of Evpatoria, including the Armenian Church. Its building was built in the 19th century. Here also rises the St. Ilyinsky acting church, built in the early 20th century. Special attention is paid to the interior of the tourists, which impresses with its unique frescoes in the Greek style. In addition, in this church there is a lamp with live fire, brought from Zakynthos.

Revising the list of interesting places on the forums with the table of contents "Evpatoria, sights", reviews can be seen almost under each of the historical sites of the city. But to inspect them for one trip will be quite difficult. After all, this is the Juma-Jami Mosque, which is the largest in the Crimea, and the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, built in the late 19th century. And for a walk along Karaite Street you can spend the whole day. It is recommended to see the Eghia-Kapai Synagogue, the building of which was built by the religious community of progressive Judaism in 1912.

But this is not the whole of Evpatoria. Places of interest and entertainment here are located literally at every step, and it is simply impossible to describe them in one article.

Among the most popular is the entertainment complex "Solnyshko", which is a huge marquee, the dance floor of which is designed for 3000 people. A unique creation of the city is the children's entertainment complex "Golden Key". Especially popular among tourists is the Dolphinarium, located on the territory of the Frunze park. And one of the best theaters in the Crimea is the Pushkin City Theater in Yevpatoria, which was opened in 1910. Its hall is designed for 900 spectators.

A cozy complex for family leisure in Evpatoria is a dinopark, located on the territory of the square. Lenin. All brontosaurs, dinosaurs, pterodactyls, tyrannosaurs are equipped with special mechanisms that move animals into motion. At the same time they produce corresponding volume sounds. In June 2013, the park "Crimea in Miniature" opened in Evpatoria, located in the central part of the city on the territory of the sanatorium and spa treatment complex "Themis". I would also like to note the aquarium "Shark", which has impressive dimensions. There are more than 100 species of marine life.
