Culture of Yevpatoriya. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces

Yevpatoria is a city of contrasts, which never ceases to amaze guests with its irresistible modern appearance and amazing historical atmosphere. It impresses with its elegant medieval architecture and modernity. Religious tolerance and morals inherent in locals never differ in a mild character. Those who are going to devote rest to the study of historical monuments in Yevpatoria will not be exactly bored.

The most important sights of the city are the famous "Juma-Jama Mosque". It is a surprisingly beautiful architectural structure. The beautiful Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is also an important symbol of the city, and the Yeghia-Kapai synagogue reminds locals and guests of the resort about one of the most important historical periods. A lot of impressions will be presented by a walk along the winding streets of the Old Town. There are historical monuments on the Gorky Embankment, as well as on the theater square.

Very interesting in architectural plan is the building of the theater A.C. Pushkin and the gymnasium named after Selvinsky. Also in Yevpatoria there are many notable monuments, for example, a monument to Semyon Duvan - one of the mayors who managed to turn Yevpatoria from a remote provincial town to a resort of international importance at the beginning of the 20th century. There is also a monument to Major-General Nikolai Tokarev, a hero of the Great Patriotic War. Also famous in the city is the local poet of the XVII century Ashik Omer, who was born in Yevpatoria and all his life accompanied the Ottoman army in her numerous campaigns.

The resort town is not deprived of curious cultural institutions. It is worth visiting the Pharmacy Museum and the Mail Museum, which over the years has managed to collect excellent collections of exhibits. Important historical facilities of the middle Ages are the Turkish baths, which have not ceased to function for several hundred years. The fortress gates, which are located not far from the embankment deserves special attention. They are the surviving part of the ancient fortress, which for many years defended the city and its inhabitants from numerous conquerors. Despite the fact that Yevpatoria has always been a primary goal in the eyes of the latter, the city managed to preserve the historical heritage of various epochs, from the time of antiquity to the rich innovations of the 19th century.
