What to see in Stavropol: interesting sights of the city

Fortress hill

Soldier Square

Paying tribute to the history of the city, it is worth starting a visit to the sights from the Fortress Hill, on the site of which in 1777 a defensive fortress was built - the progenitor of Stavropol. Now you can see only the rest of the fortress wall, imagining how it all began. In 1849, the Cathedral of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which became the cathedral of the Stavropol Territory, was erected on Fortress Hill.

Memorial “Fire of Eternal Glory”

Having examined the birthplace of Stavropol and touched the stones that remember the history of the 18th century, do not rush to descend from the Fortress Hill - stop at the memorial “Fire of Eternal Glory”. Three faces are depicted on a stone wall: the first two faces are male, personify the soldiers of the Civil and World War II, and the third is the female face of the Motherland. An inscription is carved under them: "Happiness conquered by the struggle of the people, your life is eternal." Here, a fire always burns in memory of the fallen and bright flower beds are planted.

Station building

St. Station, 17 stavropol.dzvr.ru

In 1897, the first train arrived at the Stavropol station building, which was greeted as a miracle. Now the train to Moscow (the only long-distance train) leaves every three days and brings new tourists who want to get acquainted with the beauties of the region and improve their health. A beautiful bright blue building still looks very impressive and attracts attention. Many tours of the city begin from the square opposite the station, because the oldest street of the city, which is now called Karl Marx Avenue, departs from here.

Stavropol Regional Museum of Fine Arts

St. Dzerzhinsky, 115-119 www.artmuseum26.ru

The largest museum in the Stavropol Territory occupies three historical buildings of the 19th century and has exhibits from the 5th century to the 20th. Here is a rich collection of ancient Russian icons, antique sculptures, Western European engravings, art from the East, a collection of paintings by artists from Stavropol and all of Russia, as well as European painters, including works by Aivazovsky and Kuindzhi. The museum often hosts festivals, concerts and theme nights.

Alexander Square

In the center of Stavropol is located Alexander Square - a favorite place for walks of local residents. Here you can easily find a cafe to your liking from a number of institutions. In summer, it is pleasant to relax in the square in the shade of trees near cool fountains. After the installation of a 25-meter column, lined with red granite, with the figure of the Guardian Angel of the City of the Cross crowning it, the locals began to call it Angel Square.

Taman Forest

Walking through the back streets of the city, you can unexpectedly find yourself in a real forest. To do this, you just need to turn off Dzerzhinsky Street onto the path between houses 159 and 161. It will lead you to the stairs down to the Tashla River. About 15 minutes through the forest, covering an area of ​​400 hectares, and you will find yourself at the Komsomolsky Pond, where you can swim and sunbathe. A beautiful view of the domes of churches and the forest opens from the pond.

In the vicinity of Stavropol: the best automobile routes

Kravtsovo Lake

Only 10-15 minutes by rental car and 9 km from Stavropol, you can visit one of the oldest lakes in the region - Lake Kravtsovo. Wildlife lovers will be delighted with the variety of local flora and fauna, this will also please fishermen, because fishing here all year round with only one restriction - at a time you can not take with you more than five kilograms of fish. The lake has its own unique attraction - a floating island in the center. Local services prohibit swimming in the lake, as already known fatal cases are due to algae growing all along the bottom, which can wrap around the diver's body. But to admire the beauties of the lake is absolutely safe, which attracts many tourists.

Lushnikovskoe lake

Once a deep-water relict Lushnikovskoye lake connected the Caspian Sea with the Black. Now it is a State nature reserve of regional significance, on whose territory many natural species listed in the Red Book are preserved. Salt water and sand of Lake Lushnikovsky have healing properties similar to the mud of Lake Tambukan. The peculiarity of the reservoir also lies in the fact that it “breathes”, as if alive, now being filled with water, now becoming smaller due to its location on the fault.

Honey waterfalls

The village of Red Kurgan

Powerful jets of water falling from a height of 18 meters are an ideal place to visit on a sunny, hot day. The spray cools and the sun sparkles in drops of water. The name “Honey” stuck to the waterfalls among the people because of the abundance of wild bees in the crevices of the rocks. They say that earlier in the waterfalls there was even honey washed out of the honeycombs. But now there are no bees, and although it is not possible to try mountain honey here, visitors felt calmer.

Mountain ring

The village of Red Kurgan

Rent a car and go on a trip to the sights of the Stavropol Territory. At the Barbustan ridge, you will see a unique natural arch emerging from the cliff, formed about a hundred years ago. At that time she was considered sacred, because they could not understand how such a strange formation could have arisen. Now scientists have found an explanation - voids created a strong wind, for many decades, "blown" soft rock. You can read about this place in the works of Lermontov, one of which, “The Hero of Our Time,” was filmed near this mountain.

Tatar settlement

The village of Tatarka

Many will be interested in visiting the only open-air archaeological museum in the Stavropol Territory that preserves the history of local settlements from the 8th century BC.
