 Part of the Painting by Jasen71
The Panorama was created in 1905 to mark the 50-year anniversary of the defence of Sevastopol by the painter France Alekseevich Rubaud.
The Panorama occupies most of the circular building in the park on Malakhov Hill. It's a huge 360 degree re-creation of the defense of Sevastopol, consisting of a 4m high painting which forms a 115m circular backdrop to a life-size reconstructed view of the defenses. The painting is cleverly merged into the foreground modelwork so that a real sense of perspective is created, and you stand at the centre with the battle all around you. It cost about 45 hrv to enter, and also has a small museum of crimean war objects and uniforms. Leave a Comment Address: Top of Historical BoulevardDirections: walk up the slight hill (historical boulevard), and past the children fair, and it's a round building to the left. Pay to enter in the kiosk outside.

 Sevastopol Defence Panorama
Exposition by Kuznetsov_Sergey, 4 more photos
On a plan of the artist, the spectator, by rising on special observation platform, as though appears at top Malakhov mound per day of assault on June 6, 1855. Just on Malakhov mound there were decisive events which have defined outcome of assault as "the first serious defeat of France-English army".
During Great Domestic war fascist bombs have destroyed the panorama building, the unique picture has lit up. After war the panorama was reconstructed by the soviet painters. Only in 1970 the exposition opened. It’s telling about unforgettable events and heroes of a defense and also about the panorama itself.
When a 13-years boy I came to Sevastopol for the first time in 1967. The Panorama wasn't still open that time and I was very sorry about it. Now 40 years later I succeeded to get there and see Rubo's masterpiece!
