Simeiz village. General information

Simeiz is an urban-type settlement on the southern coast of Crimea, a large resort and health resort of national importance. The village of Simeiz is located between the city of Alupka and the village of Katsiveli at the eastern slope of Mount Koshka. The eastern border of the village with Alupka lies between the palace of Medvedchuk (Simeiz) and the sanatorium named after Bobrov (Alupka). The western border of the village of Simeiz runs between the Blue Bay water park and the radio telescope (this is already Katsiveli). From the north, the village is limited by the Yalta-Sevastopol highway. The central street of the village of Simeiz - Sovetskaya Street - divides the settlement into two parts. At the bottom there are large sanatoriums, on the territory of which there is a large and the best part pre-revolutionary resort, at the top - private sector and the lion's share of private hotels and hotels.

The population of the village of Simeiz is about four thousand people, and taking into account its satellites Katsiveli, Ponizovka, blue bay, Landslide, Castropol and Park - almost seven thousand inhabitants. In the high season, these villages will be able to receive up to one hundred thousand tourists at a time.

Nature and climate of Simeiz village

The village of Simeiz is located on a coastal slope, which at the beginning of the nineteenth century seemed steep and even dangerous to travelers. Now the settlement is covered with a network of roads, but the slope remains solid, which is why local roads are laid in serpentine. In addition to the already mentioned Sovetskaya, the main streets of the village of Simeiz are Gorky, Lugovsky, Vasilchenko and Krasnomayakskaya streets in the western part of the village, and Zvezdnaya, Gansky and Baranov streets in the eastern part.

The coastal part of the village has good, albeit small beaches.
In the western part, the neighborhood with Mount Koshka affects the quality of the beaches negatively - everything is covered with large stones and even rock fragments. The rocks Diva, Panea and Wing of the Swan form the retinue of Mount Koshka, which in itself is the end of a small Limensky ridge, mobile and, like every limestone formation, fragile. The indicated fragility of the limestone rock leads to the destruction of Mount Koshka and the formation of stone chaos both on its eastern slope and on its southern one. The southern stone chaos, which in our time has become a nature protection zone along with its water area, does not give a single chance to the resort to grow in a westerly direction.

The east coast of the village of Simeiz also cannot boast of good beaches- there are too many stones and large pebbles, the coastal zones are too narrow, which are claimed by thousands of vacationers.

The village of Simeiz can be called with confidence green village. Despite the ongoing construction, visually this settlement gives the impression of a green island among the heaps of rocks and stones near Mount Koshka.

Large juniper generations grow in Simeiz, especially in the lower park and on seemingly barren stones of stone chaos. Juniper has become one of the reasons for the opening of so many anti-tuberculosis sanatoriums in the village of Simeiz, because science already knows the important role of phytoncides of this coniferous species in the fight against lung diseases.

Cypress trees are innumerable in Simeiz, they grow wherever there is space. In the parks you can see a lot of exotic trees and shrubs, but in the village of Simeiz itself, it is not palm trees that hold the palm, but the same cypresses, pines and figs.

Simeiz is famous for its warm and dry climate. It is well covered by Mount Koshka from the western and northwestern winds. The mountains of the Main Ridge above the village in this part are higher than above the same Kastropol and Foros. Summers are very mild, rains are sporadically, strong winds are infrequent. Winter comes late, the heat retreats sometimes closer to November, you can swim in the sea until mid-October. True, spring comes to the village of Simeiz later than to Simferopol - at the end of April, and spring can be windy and whiny, although it is extremely rare to get really cold in Simeiz, sub-zero temperatures during the day are found in a few days a year.

In prehistoric times, not far from Simeiz - in the Besh-Tekne basin, on the northern slopes of the At-Bash mountain - there was a site of ancient people. The first historically attested inhabitants of Simeiz were the Taurians. In the vicinity of the village, they left behind dolmens and a fortified settlement on Mount Koshka. At the foot of the mountain is the largest Taurus burial ground in the Crimea, consisting of 95 graves. A permanent settlement in the area of ​​Simeiz dates back to Hellenistic times.

The former fortified settlement of the Taurians in the Middle Ages turned into feudal castle dominating the rural area. At the same time, the Byzantines, who at that time belonged to the southern coast of Crimea, founded a fortified monastery nearby. Perhaps it was in this era that the settlement received its name. Sembos. After the power of Byzantium weakened, Sembos, along with the entire southern coast, became part of the Genoese Captaincy of Gothia. The Genoese turned the Byzantine castle into a fortification, the ruins of which have partially survived to this day.

After the conquest of the Genoese possessions by the Ottomans in 1475, Sembos became a small village that was part of the Mangup kadylyk of the Kefin sanjak.

Simeiz belonged to the Crimean Khanate for only 9 years - from the acquisition of independence by the Khanate in 1774 to the annexation of Crimea to Russia (8) on April 19, 1783, but by that time there were apparently no Christians in the village - in the statements about the Christians withdrawn from the Crimea in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov A. V. Suvorov and Metropolitan Ignatius of 1778 Simeiz does not appear.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia (8) on April 19, 1783, (8) on February 19, 1784, by the nominal decree of Catherine II to the Senate, the Tauride region was formed on the territory of the former Crimean Khanate and the village was assigned to the Simferopol district. After the Pavlovsk reforms, from 1796 to 1802, it was part of the Akmechetsky district of the Novorossiysk province. In a new way administrative division, after the creation of the Tauride province on October 8 (20), 1802, Simeiz was included in the Mahuldur volost of the Simferopol district.

The estate "Simeiz" was founded by the famous industrialist second-major Ivan Akimovich Maltsov in 1828 and a few years later had an area of ​​567 acres of land. A significant part of the estate was occupied by vineyards and orchards. After the reform of the volost division of 1829, Simeiz, according to "Vedomosti about state-owned volosts of the Tauride province of 1829", transferred to the Alushta volost, and, after the formation of the Yalta district in 1838, the village was transferred to the Alushta volost.

Villa Xenia

After the establishment of Soviet power in the Crimea, by a decree of the Krymrevkom of January 8, 1921, the volost system was abolished and the village was subordinated to the Yalta district of the Yalta district.

With the beginning of the German occupation of Crimea in the autumn of 1941, many residents of Simeiz went to the mountains and became members of the Yalta partisan detachment.
