Some of the medieval defensive constructions are located right on the territory of the city. One of them is the Tower of St. Constantine. It was built in 1382 to protect the coastal zone from conquerors. In the late 15th century, the tower was conquered by Ottoman conquerors and partially rebuilt. The historical value of the construction was recognized at the beginning of the 20th century. It was reconstructed completely at that time.

The must-see is the Local History Museum of Feodosia. Its collection started being formed at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1811, the Museum of Antiques was opened in the city. Its exhibits have become a core of the collection of the future local history museum. Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky contributed much to the museum development. The first separate building was built at his expense. Consequently, the museum has changed its location several times, as its collection has been rapidly broadened. Today, it occupies the beautiful estate built in the period between the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum houses the collection of interesting archeological artifacts that have been found when the surroundings of Feodosia were explored.
