This is something that every visitor should see. The original was created by Franz Alekseevich Roubaud ("Rubo") (1856-1928) in three years in Munich, then moved into its special classical building in 1905. The building and the panorama were badly damaged during World War II, but the canvas has been completely recreated and the building restored and reopened in 1954. The Panorama vividly depicts one of the 349 days of Sevastopol’s defence, and its canvas is 14m x 115 m, the area of the life-size plan is about 1000 sq.m.
