St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Chersonesus Taurica is a landmark church commemorating the baptism of Grand Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich and the Christianization of Kievan Rus. Originally founded in 1861 and designed by architect David Grimm, the cathedral underwent a comprehensive restoration project in 2024. This initiative restored the building's exterior and interior, while modernizing its engineering systems to ensure long-term preservation in a humid coastal climate.

The cathedral's exterior was faithfully returned to its late 19th and early 20th-century appearance. The interior was fully restored—in part guided by David Grimm's original historical sketches—and the frescoes were recreated in mosaic technique under the direction of M. Leontiev. Covering a total area of 5,000 square meters, the mosaic decoration required 100 million smalt tesserae.

During the restoration of the lower church, specialists uncovered and artistically restored the remnants of a medieval basilica, believed to be directly associated with the baptism of Prince Vladimir. A bronze monument to Prince Vladimir, sculpted by V. Shanov, was erected adjacent to the cathedral. The total area of the site measures 1,726 square meters.
