The Church of St Nicholas is a real architectural masterpiece in the neoclassical style, created in 1799-1801 by the Russian architect Yakov Perrin, which conquers with its impressive facade with columns at the three entrances, a large bell tower and a dome. At the entrance, visitors are greeted by a sculpture of Maria Purpur, who managed to prevent the destruction of the church during the Crimean War.
For the natives, the church of St Nicholas is the oldest building in the city, known for its valuable and unusual icons, one of which depicts the face of St Nicholas against a seascape. The interior of the church symbolises the harmony of goodness, love, unity and peace.
Visiting time: from 1 July to 31 August.
