At Crystal cape in Sevastopol built sixty meters high obelisk. The composition is in the form connected bayonet and sails. On the other side of the obelisk, which faces the sea, depicted medals "Gold Star" Order of Lenin, as well as carved text of the award of the title of the Hero City.

The walls are decorated with various reliefs of the monument, which depicted the events of those times: the defense of the city moments, episodes of the underground struggle, fragments of battles for the liberation of the city. Here at the memorial engraved commemorative words.

An obelisk erected in 1977 to sixty-year anniversary of the October Revolution. Above the monument, a team of sculptors I.G.Shamsedinov, A.L.Sheffer, E.P.Veresov, I.V.Bagley, M.G.Katernoga. Granite protects the parapet area near the obelisk. At one site, you can see the sea anchor, cannons mounted on another sample of the Crimean War. This is where they were not accidental. Coastal battery was here in 1854 - 1855's, along with other batteries it guarded the approaches to the inner harbor. When going work on the installation of the obelisk in the land of the old guns were found. They have preserved and put to the monument as a reminder of Military Merit Sevastopol and as a symbol of the continuity of the traditions of the inhabitants of the city.

The obelisk at Cape Crystal - eighty meters above sea level. It can be clearly seen from different points of the city. The sun's rays illuminate its golden light in the early morning and in the evening at sunset. At night obelisk is illuminated by searchlights, and it seems as if it floats above the Sevastopol as the permanent guardian of the city. During holidays, the sky above the monument multicolored fireworks burst. Sparkles of colored garlands and flashing reflected in the water, and then go out, slowly sinking into a body of water.
