Alouchta - from a sketch by Willibald Richter, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Alouchta - from a sketch by Willibald Richter, 1856....a town situated on the southern shore of [the Crimean] peninsula...Its situation, in a wide and fertile valley, at nearly the centre of the southern coast, must always have rendered it an important place, although the only mention of it in ancient times is with reference to the castle built here by Justinian, the remains of which are to be seen on a little hill near the seashore. The ancient town of Alouchta was built in front of the fort on the right bank of the river Oulou Ouzene, but the place is now deserted and covered with the wild vine and tamarisk...The churches are nearly as large as those of Kherson...Alouchta is the limit between the eastern and the western coast, which are great rivals for public favour. There can, however, be no doubt that in remarkable scenery and romantic beauty the western coast has greatly the advantage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
Alouchta: A Forgotten Gem on the Crimean Shoreline," Nestled on the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula lies the enchanting town of Alouchta, as depicted in this evocative sketch by Willibald Richter in 1856. The town's location in a lush, fertile valley, near the center of the southern coast, has long rendered it an essential place, despite its limited historical mention. Ancient records only refer to the castle built here by Justinian, which can still be seen on a hill overlooking the sea. The ancient town of Alouchta once stood on the right bank of the Oulou Ouzene River, but now it lies abandoned, covered in wild vine and tamarisk. The churches in Alouchta, though smaller than those in Kherson, are still impressive structures that speak to the town's once-great significance. Alouchta holds a unique position as the boundary between the eastern and western coasts of the Crimean peninsula. While both coasts have their merits, the western coast, with its remarkable scenery and romantic beauty, holds a distinct advantage. The rugged cliffs, picturesque bays, and serene beaches of the western coast have long captivated travelers and artists alike. As we gaze upon this sketch of Alouchta, we are transported back in time to an era when this once-thriving town was a beacon of culture and history on the Crimean shoreline. The ruins of the ancient castle and the abandoned churches serve as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the ever-changing landscape of the Crimean peninsula. This evocative image, created by the skilled hand of Willibald Richter, invites us to explore the rich history and natural beauty of Alouchta, a forgotten gem on the Crimean shoreline.
