Tours in the old Sevastopol cemetery are now possible

The Vice President of Funeral Organizations Vsevolod Scherbich is convinced that the old cemetery near Pozharov street need to be revived. He sees this object as a ground for fascinating and educational tours for travelers.

The old church of All Saints still stands in the cemetery. You can see the church already in engravings that were created during the World War II. There are also other historical monuments, which date back to the times of Russian Tsars and earlier, in the cemetery. The cemetery was founded simultaneously with the city. The church of All Saints was constructed in 1822. This burial bordered on Karaite and Jewish necropolis.

The old cemetery in Sevastopol was used to bury a lot of outstanding personalities: participants of the Russian-Turkish, Crimean, and World wars, as well as heroes who defended Sevastopol during the World War II, artists and scientists. The necropolis was officially closed in 1969.
