Sapun-gora
Description:
Sapoune Ridge -
Where Lord Raglan's viewpoint was located during the Battle of Balaclava. We observe the whole Balaclava Valley from the height of 300 meters.
There is a WWII Memorial Complex here, so we see an exhibition of Soviet guns. You will be able to visit Diorama museum, devoted to the history of Sevastopol's defence, in 1941-1942, and its liberation.
• The grounds in front of the diorama building feature the samples of naval and general military technical equipment from the World War II period: tanks, self-propelled and anti-aircraft machinery, mortars Katyusha, naval guns, mines and real torpedo boat.
- Sapun Hora
where Captain Raglan’s observation post was based during the Crimean War. From the top of the mountain offers a perfect view of the Balaklava Valley, where the Battle of Balaklava took place, in which the British lost all their elite cavalry.
The memorial complex includes the Diorama, a strict semicircular building on top of Sapun Mountain. On the second floor of the building is located the world's largest diorama - "Storm Sapun Mountain May 7, 1944".
• In front of the building are exhibited samples of military equipment and weapons during the Great Patriotic War: tanks, mortars, anti-tank guns, howitzers, torpedoes and anchor mines.
