Count's Quay - the historical and architectural monument in Sevastopol. Located on the western shore of South Bay, at the square of Admiral Nakhimov. Pristan's name is associated with count Voinovich, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet in 1786-1790, who used to moor here, coming from his homestead on the North side.
