Title:

Plan of the town of Feodosiia, Tavrida Province

Subject:

urban history

Description:

Feodosiia, like its sister Crimean town Kerch, is quite unique. Its most striking features - apart from its location on the Black Sea - are not labeled in the legend. Most prominent is the area allocated for settlement by "people of various ranks."

Feodosiia is clearly a seaside town: its layout reinforces this over and over, with the placement of features and the prominence of the quarantine and customs.
