One of the most visited sights of the city is the old Ilyinsky lighthouse
It is located on the cape of the same name and was erected at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Initially, a chapel was built on the site of the lighthouse, but for some unknown reason it was removed. Due to the constant storms, fogs and reefs characteristic of the water area near the city, shipwrecks often occurred here. Therefore, it was decided to build a lighthouse on the site of the Ilyinsky chapel. The building was erected with the charitable funds of Evdokia Rukavishnikova, the wife of Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov. She stayed in Feodosia with her sick son at the end of the 19th century. The favorable climate helped to improve the boy's health, and the woman decided to donate funds to the city for the construction of a lighthouse, which still functions today. Today, this object is often featured in the background of photographs taken by visitors and local residents.Dolphinarium "Nemo" is another popular place among tourists.
