## About

Inkerman is a town at the head of Sevastopol Bay in Crimea, near the mouth of the Chorna River. It is known for a cave monastery, limestone quarries and the nearby battlefield of the Crimean War.

## Notes

UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty. The Soviet name was used from 1976 to 1991. Inkermann is especially frequent in French accounts of the Crimean War; the battle name is not proof of a separate current municipal spelling.
