"The greatest thing I saw in Crimea - is a night Inkerman" - wrote A. Griboyedov. From Sevastopol you can get it by boat, passing along the North Bay. Passing along the Black River Monastery at the foot of the cliff, you can go up on the road, which coincides with the ancient path carved into the rock directly to the majestic ruins of the fortress Kalamita.
It was a Marine outpost of the medieval principality of Theodoro. There are remains of mighty towers and walls and more than 300 artificial caves here. Going down to the foot of the cliff, you can see the area of the restored Inkerman Monastery of St. Clement.
The monastery was named in honor of St. Clement, who, according to legend, ran the first church here and the source. When the Empress Catherine II came to Crimea, she was met in Inkerman. During the Great Patriotic War, the cave monastery buildings were used as headquarters. Taking into account all this, you will understand the invisible connection of times, the historical continuity of ages and generations, the eternal value of human labor. And the vivid example of this - the fortress - the monastery with double-name Kalamita Inkerman.
