What to see in Pyatigorsk: interesting sights of the city

Failure

Gagarin Boulevard

The famous Underground Cave Failure became famous in the movie “Twelve Chairs”, in which Ostap Bender decided to start collecting money for the entrance, fearlessly explaining to the police that the collection was “for the purpose of overhauling the Failure so as not to fail too much.” In fact, the admission is free, but the bronze “Great Combinator” still welcomes guests at the entrance, holding out a ticket of 50 kopecks. In the depths of the cave visitors can see a sky-blue lake. This bright blue color is given to the lake by hydrogen sulfide springs, due to which a strong unpleasant odor reigns in the cave. You can’t swim in the cave now, but near Failure, those who wish to plunge for free have access to sources that are popularly called “Shameless bathtubs”.

Park "Flower Garden"

Kirova street

Another monument to the famous hero of the film “Twelve Chairs” is erected at the entrance to the Tsvetnik Park, a popular vacation spot for both visitors and locals. The arrangement of the park zone began in 1823 and lasted more than a century. Now it is a large-scale architectural and park area with bathtubs, grottoes, gazebos in the style of Chinese pagodas, galleries and restaurants, alleys, flowerbeds and a rose garden. Walking along the paths, you can notice the sundial, measuring 30 minutes between water procedures. Local musical ensembles and an orchestra perform in the park.

Mount Mashuk

Since Pyatigorsk is located at the base of Mount Mashuk, it’s impossible, of course, not to visit the top of a kilometer-high. The cable car leads to the top point, ascent and descent will cost 360 rubles per person, but you can also walk uphill on a convenient asphalt road for free. The top offers breathtaking views of the entire city and its surroundings, including the peaks of the nearby mountains.

Place of the duel M.Yu. Lermontov

On the slope of Mount Mashuk there is a small memorial complex reminiscent of the place of the duel and the death of the Russian poet Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov at the age of 27. In the center of the memorial there is an 8-meter dolomite obelisk with a bust and short but fruitful years of Lermontov’s life. The monument is surrounded by a fence made of small columns made in the form of bullets. Four corners guard stone vultures. The area around the memorial is planted with bright flower beds and lawns. Every year, fans of the poet come here to read the lines of his poems, filled with love for the Caucasus and Pyatigorsk.

Academic Gallery

Without leaving Mount Mashuk you can admire another attraction of Pyatigorsk - the Academic (or, as it was called earlier, Elizabethan) gallery. It is located on a ledge of a mountain and is nicknamed the local “stone crown” of the city. The building, built in 1850, used to have spa bathtubs and pump rooms - where you could take a dip in the healing spring and drink mineral water. Now the building is empty, but still attracts many tourists and people walking with its pompous beauty.
