Old Crimea

Surb Khach Monastery is an active monastery of the Armenian Apostolic Church in the city of Old Crimea. An outstanding monument of Armenian architecture, culture and religion of the XIV century. The monastery was founded in 1358. It was the Genoese period in Crimea. The Genoese were engaged in the fact that they tried to convert to the Catholic faith the Crimean Armenians who massively migrated from Armenia to the Crimea. And in protest, the Armenians left the major cities, in particular - Kafu (modern Feodosia), and moved to other areas of the peninsula. Probably connected with this is the foundation of the monastery of Surb Khach. Very small and very provincial... Old Crimea. History has so decreed that this city has lost its former greatness over the centuries. Now it is one of the smallest cities in Crimea with a population of less than 10 thousand people, which is administratively subordinate to the village of Kirovskoye (Islam-Terek). And there was a time when Old Crimea was a large medieval city and even was the capital of the Crimean ulus of the Golden Horde.
