Fodor's Expert Review Grafskaja Quay
Sevastopol
Nautical Site/Lighthouse
The historic quay on Nakhimov square offers a lovely greeting to those arriving by sea and is an important architectural monument in its own right. Built in June 1783, it was created from masonry stones. It was further improved in 1787 in honor of a visit by the Russian Empress Ekaterina II, when the quay was equipped with modern amenities and when white marble columns where added. Two lions on the column are said to preserve the calmness of the city.
