Fodor's Expert Review St. Vladimir's Cathedral in the Chersonesos
Sevastopol
Religious Building/Site/Shrine
The Neo-Byzantine, or Byzantine Revival style, Russian Orthodox cathedral overlooks the Chersonesos area. It is named after St. Vladimir of Kiev, who – as the legend has it – was baptized in this very spot in the year 988. Badly destroyed during World War II, it was reconstructed in 1990s. Today the interior dazes the visitor with polished white marble, stained glass and mozaics.
