about

Kerch is a port city at the eastern end of Crimea, Ukraine, beside the strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Ancient Panticapaeum and the fortress of Yenikale reflect different layers of its history.

Kertch est une ville portuaire de l’est de la Crimée, en Ukraine, près du détroit reliant la mer Noire à la mer d’Azov. Le site antique de Panticapée et la forteresse de Yeni-Kale témoignent de plusieurs périodes de son histoire.

notes

Ancient Panticapaeum was a predecessor settlement and archaeological site, not an interchangeable modern name for every part of Kerch. Country UA follows internationally recognized sovereignty over Crimea. Some alternatives are explicitly standard-derived retrieval forms, not individually attested press spellings; this contributes to medium certainty.
