Uchkuyevka Park

Uchkuyevka Park is one of the most pleasant and modern places for walking, recreation and sports not only in Uchkuyevka, but also in the whole of Sevastopol. The park was recently renovated, so if you were here a few years ago, now you will see a completely different place. So far, it is not very green yet, because a lot of plantings are very young, but there are well-equipped walking paths and recreation areas, free toilets, playgrounds, sports grounds and playgrounds for active recreation, and even a concert venue. And at the southern entrance to the park there is a historical and architectural landmark – a stone road sign on the route of Catherine the Great to the Crimea. In general, during your vacation in Uchkuyevka, you will probably spend most of your time off the beach right here, because there is nowhere else to walk in this area.

St. Nicholas Church

This is an Orthodox church-monument at the Fraternal Memorial cemetery, one of the main architectural symbols of the city. Built in the middle of the 19th century. The architect specially chose an unusual shape for an Orthodox church – a pyramid. It is believed that the architect A.A. Avdeev, choosing this form, sought to convey the idea of eternity, borrowing it from the Egyptian pyramids. Anyway, the temple is worth it to get to it and see with your own eyes. Also, the Mikhailovskaya Battery and Konstantinovskaya Bataeria museums are not very far away, and it is convenient to combine their visits. Read more about St. Nicholas Memorial Church here.
