LOT # 90036. 1911 y. Crimea(Ukraine/Russia). Tunnel near the gate Bajdarsky. Sevastopol - Odessa.
The Baydar Gate (elevation 503 metres or 1,650 feet) is a mountain pass in the Crimean Mountains connecting the Baidar Valley with the Black Sea coast. It is enclosed by Mount Chelebi (657 m) and Mount Ckhu-Bair (705 m). The old Yalta-Sevastopol highway, dating from the 1830s and seldom used today, passes through here. When the highway was completed in 1848, the so-called Propylaea were built of local limestone to commemorate the event. This Neoclassical gate offers breathtaking views, including that of the picturesque Foros Church set atop a 400-metre cliff overlooking the sea coast.
