Crimea. The Peninsula of Legends and Architectural Masterpieces

Anna Korob is a Russian documentary photographer. Abandoned churches, fading estates, dead villages are the main subjects of her reports. For many years, Anna has traveled across the country in search of abandoned historical monuments lost in the Russian provinces. This hobby evolved into research work that draws attention to dying cultural heritage sites.

The Crimean Peninsula is famous for its colossal historical heritage, diverse culture, and rich traditions. Inheriting the legacy of ancient Greek and early medieval Byzantine architecture, the peninsula absorbed the traditions of Muslim culture, particularly Ottoman and Tatar architecture, during the Middle Ages.

This book will serve as your guide to the most beautiful and important places of the Crimean Peninsula, allowing you to see it through the eyes of the author and immerse yourself in its history. On the pages, you will encounter natural and man-made monuments, both widely known and those absent from the must-see list when visiting this picturesque region: ancient cave dwellings, a ruined city, abandoned estates, a grand princely palace, unique mountains, and turquoise seas.
