Virtual tour: Sevastopol. “City of Glory”, “Holy City” - this is how the name Sevastopol is translated from Greek.   Sevastopol, like Kronstadt on the Baltic, was founded as a fortress and base of the navy. In May 1783, the warships of the Azov Flotilla entered the Sevastopol Bay - this is how the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire appeared.
