The so-called Central Hill rises above the railway station: three main streets (Lenin, Bolshaya Morskaya and Nakhimov Avenue) between the three main squares (Nakhimov, Ushakov, Revolution). Twice the city withstood unprecedented sieges and was completely destroyed. White-stone buildings, spectacularly reflected in the blue of the bays, were built after World War II in the classical style. Monuments and exotic greenery are everywhere.

Primorsky Boulevard is especially good with the famous Monument to the Scuttled Ships, anchors from the ships that were sunk in 1854 were installed in front of it to prevent the enemy from entering the Sevastopol Bay. The Grafskaya pier is very elegant, from here motor ships go to the North Side and excursions to warships are arranged. Above the pier is Admiral Nakhimov Square with a majestic monument. The center also houses the Art Museum and the Museum of the History of the Black Sea Fleet. One of the few old (1888) buildings is Vladimirsky Cathedral, where the tomb of Russian admirals, as well as other heroes of the first defense of Sevastopol, is located.
