Fodor's Expert Review Pokrovsky Cathedral

Constructed in 1905, the cathedral was virtually destroyed during World War II, along with most of the rest of Sevastopol. It was partially restored and until 1962 remained a church. After, it was turned into a gymnasium and city archive. In 1992, the northern part of the cathedral was returned to church control and was re-consecrated in the name of great martyr Pantelejmon. It remains a worthy example of Orthodox architecture and is worth seeing (even though it seems to be undergoing a never-ending renovation).
