35TH COASTAL BATTERY

From Euro

Kind of tour: Excursion

Duration 4 hours

TOUR INFORMATION

HALF DAY 09.00 - 13.00

There is a place in Sevastopol carefully storing the heroic glory of the great city. The most famous in the former Soviet Union artillery fort is known as the 35th coastal battery. Located in the area of Blue Bay, it has become important for the construction of the Black Sea Fleet. It was here back in 1941 a meeting of the military councils of the GRA (the Sevastopol Defense Region) and the Maritime Army, at which it was decided to terminate the defense and evacuation. During the bloody battles killed more than 80 thousand defenders of the Motherland. But this allowed the victim to delay the onset of the Crimean blitzkrieg army of General von Manstein. Thanks to the brave soldiers, the enemy troops were not able to quickly gain Sevastopol. The place for evacuation was located very close to the 35-th battery. There was left virtually nothing from it. Only a lonely standing rock with a lonely protruding rail reminiscent of those terrible events.

After the war, the restoration works were carried out. But the fortress used the existing 130-th battery, so the structure well preserved. Restoration began in 2007 alone. Enthusiasts-citizens spend restoration by charitable donations. During the work there was found and defused a lot of shells and mines left over from the bloody events.

Now at the Museum "35th Coastal Battery" exhibits and exciting tours are conducted. The most interesting buildings to visit are considered the catacombs, where you can see the guns and shells obtained during excavations. In addition, tourists can walk through the stores, infirmary secret passages and arsenals.
