Євпаторія - приморське місто-курорт в західній частині Криму, знаменита дитяча оздоровниця.

В давнину на цьому місці існувало грецьке місто Керкінітида, загибле в II-III сторіччях до нашої ери. Нова історія почалася в 1475 році, коли османи спорудили фортецю Гьозлів (Кезлів), значно розширивши й зміцнивши її в XVI столітті.

Нинішню назву на честь понтійського царя Мітрідата VI Євпатора місто отримало в 1784 році після завоювання Криму Російською імперією. На початку XIX століття був побудований новий порт, місто стало центром кримських караїмів і почало розвиватися як курорт. В старому місті частково збереглася історична забудова.

Вздовж берегової лінії розташовані численні дрібнопіщані пляжі. Навколишні озера-лимани використовуються для грязелікування, відкриті джерел ...

City Gate

Castle / fortress

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The largest and only preserved (reconstructed) city gate of the five that existed in medieval Gezlev (Kezlev).

Odun-bazar-kapusu (Gate of the Wood Bazaar) is located on the eastern side of the old city. Immediately behind them was the Wood Bazaar, hence the name.

The width of the gate is more than 12 meters, the length of the passage is 13.5 meters, and the height together with the gate tower is about 20 meters.

In 1959, the gate was demolished under the pretext that it obstructed traffic. The city gate was restored in 2003 based on the remains of the foundation, ancient images and descriptions. On the first floor you can see the preserved original masonry, on the second floor there is a Crimean Tatar cafe-museum "Kezlev Kavesi", on the third - the museum "Kezlev Gate" with a model of the medieval city. It is convenient to start a tour of the old town from here.

Pyramid (Kerkinitida ruins)

Archaeological site

CRIMEA - IS UKRAINE!

The Yevpatoriian pyramid is a small glass structure that has become a modern business card of the city.

The archeological complex "Northwestern Suburb of the Ancient City of Kerkinitida of the 5th - 2nd centuries BC" is covered with a transparent dome. Most of ancient Kerkinitida was located on the current territory of the sanatorium of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, so only a small fragment of the ruins has survived. The excavation is the remains of the western defensive wall of Kerkinitida, residential premises, a round tower with a slab battlement and an altar, which were located outside the city.

Every year, in the summer, various exhibitions of archeology items from the museum's collections are arranged inside the pyramid, which complement the archaeological complex.
