Inkerman is an ancient cave city, worn in the Middle Ages the name Calamita. At that time there flourished principality Theodoro and Calamita was one of his castles and a major trading port. Around the VI century BC built Calamita fortress to protect the important trade routes, which were held here and led from the central part of the Crimea in the Chersonese. This century and is considered the foundation of Inkerman.
The remains of the fortress on Mount Calamita are Monastery in the territory of the modern city of Inkerman, in the estuary. Black. At the end of the XIV century
the Crimean feudal princes build a fortress on the remains of old fortifications in order to counter the Genoese colony Chembalo. Initially, gate tower and defensive walls were built. A little later, the defensive walls were reinforced with five bunk square towers. But defense capabilities erected fortresses were questionable because of the small wall thickness (about 1 meter) and the poor quality of construction of towers.
The Bakhchisaray Khan's palace bears the title of the main attractions of the Museum of history and culture of the Crimean Tatars. It was built as a family estate
by the Giray dynasty, the rulers of the Crimean Khanate. The Khan's Palace
was for many centuries the center of cultural, political and spiritual life
of the Crimean Tatars.
The palace is original and in that it has no solid architectural manners, as built by craftsmen from different countries; Turkey, Italy, Iran, Russia and Ukraine. Extant buildings are located around the perimeter of the spacious central courtyard.

Unfortunately the Khan's Palace was not preserved until today exactly as it was built. In 1736 the palace was captured by the troops of General Munnich and then burned. However, after that it was restored and it became much more luxurious than ever. After the annexation of the Crimean peninsula
by Katharina the Russian Emperor's family often stopped here and to each of their arrivals
there were made alterations and minor repairs, which eventually led to the fact that the palace has lost its original oriental flavor. In the last century
in the palace was made large restorations, buildings have been restored to the most original form.
