The Temple of the Sun, Crimea — one of the mysterious places hidden in the mountains.

Hidden among the Crimean mountains near Laspi Bay, the Temple of the Sun is a natural stone formation that has inspired myths and legends for centuries.

Seven sharp limestone peaks form a circle around a central altar-like rock. Locals say that if you stand on the altar, make a pure wish, and leave a small offering, it may come true.

Geologists believe these formations are over 130 million years old, yet the symmetry and energy of this place still feel almost sacred — as if nature itself built a sanctuary facing the sea.
