For years Severnaya side defended Sevastopol from the North side. During the first defence of Sevastopol during Crimean war 1853 - 1856 the very first on-land fortifications were erected there. It was the place where defensive installations and military bases were disposed.
Konstantinovskaya (Konstantinovsky Ravelin) and Mikhailovskaya batteries survived both the Crimean war and World War II. This land remembers battles of two wars, and Sevastopol citizens honor the people whose lives were connected with small piece of Sevastopol land. Almost every steer of Severnaya side is connected with the history of this place.
