Abstract. The suburb of Salachik is one of the most important sacred sites of Muslim culture in Crimea. The monuments located here reflect not only the religious traditions of Islam on the peninsula, but also the evolution of such a political entity as the Crimean Khanate. At the same time, the state protects the preserved buildings – the durbe of Haji Giray and the Zindzhirli madrasah – as cultural heritage sites, without taking into account the value of the historical landscape surrounding them, as well as the preserved archaeological complexes from the Ottoman period. In 2023, archaeological surveys were conducted in the Salachik area to determine the boundaries of the cultural layer of the Salachik settlement and to register it as an identified archaeological heritage site.

Keywords: Crimean Khanate, Salachik settlement, cultural layer, Durbe of Haji Giray, Zindzhirli Madrasah
