Nothern Side (Severnaya)

When in 1783 Sevastopol city was founded, there was practically no road connecting it to Russia. One had to cross Bilbek valley and Mikenzievy mountains, then reach Sevastopol bay and get to its southern part (which is the area where the city itself is now situated).

For years Severnaya side defended Sevastopol from the North side. During the first defence of Sevastopol during Crimean war 1853 - 1856 the very first on-land fortifications were erected there. It was the place where defensive installations and military bases were disposed.

Konstantinovskaya (Konstantinovsky Ravelin) and Mikhailovskaya batteries survived both the Crimean war and World War II. This land remembers battles of two wars, and Sevastopol citizens honor the people whose lives were connected with small piece of Sevastopol land. Almost every steer of Severnaya side is connected with the history of this place.

Nowadays Northern side a residential area, a lot of people live there and travel to the central part of Sevastopol by ferry boat daily.
