Krasnodar is a wonderful southern city, which is located between the Black and the Azov seas, before 1920, wore another name - Ekaterinodar, which was given to him by his founder of Empress Ekaterina Great. Basically, the main attractions of this city are monumental cathedrals, fascinating museums, green zones and cultural leisure institutions, so we can say that rest in the capital of Kuban will have to do with the literally every tourist.
One of the most beloved areas in the city is Pushkin's Square, where various holidays are usually held, festivals, as well as folk festivities. Up to 2000, its condition could not be called satisfactory, because there were dilapidated buildings together with shopping tents. During the improvement of the territory of the area, it was covered with a multi-colored slam, the recreation zones were equipped and trees were planted, and flower beds were smashed.
Now the area is very decorated with neat benches and very elegant lights. Here, with great pleasure, not only tourists walking, but also families with children, young people and retirees. At Pushkin Square is the building of the Art Museum, the Scientific Library and the Concert Hall, where the famous Kuban Cossack choir is held with great success. Well, in a prominent place on the square, the monument to the Great Russian poet naturally grows naturally in the center.
It should be noted that many of the most significant objects of urban infrastructure were able to appear here exactly at the time when Krasnodar struggled for the right to host the World Cup matches. At the same time, the park and the famous stadium were built, and it all was built on the means of a businessman Sergei Galitsky. Since initially in the Galician Park, it was possible to initially find a large number of people, so it was decided to replace narrow traditional alleys with wider tracks, which are twisted with bizarre spirals.
Well, inhomogeneous hilly landscape of this area brings even greater attractiveness. Also on the territory of this park is a summer amphitheater, a sightseeing platform, a skate park, a clade and a fountain, which in winter is turned into a rink. For the smallest visitors, various entertainment is also provided. Well, next to the park is the most interesting object of the city - the Arena Stadium "FC Krasnodar".
The city garden in Krasnodar was founded in the middle of the XIX century and gradually grew from a very small nursery of plants. In the Soviet period, this attraction was called Gorky Park, and in general the traces of old settlements were found on the territory of this garden, dated the first century of our era, and besides them, the remains of the ancient people were also discovered. All exhibits found are now in the historical and archaeological museum. Well, the city garden today is a corner of calm and harmony in the center of a major city. Clees and limes, oaks and sofa grow here, and the oldest oak has already noted his 600th anniversary. Also, the special charm of the garden gives a pretty pond with waterfowl.
Naturally, the townspeople could not not establish a monument to the founder of their city. This happened in 1907, but unfortunately, in 1920 the Bolsheviks, of course, they first dismantled, and then remembered the monument and at the same time renamed the city. And although the initial name of the city of Krasnodar could not be returned, but the monument to revive, all the same citizens managed. In 2006, the Russian Empress again ranked his honorable place in the Catherine Square. The monument has a height of about 14 meters and in it the majestic government is depicted in the appropriate posture with the power and the scepter in the hands, well, it is surrounded by the sculptures of Cossack Atamans.
One of the most interesting cathedrals of Krasnodar is the Cathedral of the Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky, who is considered the holy patron of the military. Actually, so he was built on the war of the military and received the name of this saint as a result. All construction work was completed in 1872, it is known that during the Soviet power the cathedral was first plundered, then the atheism museum was opened in it, and after he was blown at all. The cathedral was restored in his initial appearance only at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This construction built in the Byzantine style has a cross shape. The facade looks very nice - it is decorated with sockets stylized under Gothic, and at the top it is crowned with 5 gilded domes, which rest on powerful drums. This temple has its own shrine - the particle of the relics of Alexander Nevsky.
One of the most popular streets in Krasnodar, naturally, is red, which is located in the center and should be visited by the city. Just consider that it has nothing to do with communism, because this street has received its name back in 1888. The versions of the origin of the name of this street there are several - either it is named so for her beauty or for the fact that there are very many red brick buildings on it. So, to whom what version is like more, he can take as the basis.
On holidays, part of the street overlaps, and it turns into a pedestrian zone. There are a lot of attractions on this street - the building of the Legislative Assembly, the floral watch, a monument to walking dogs, the government building, the monument to the Cossacks, as well as a lot of museums, stadiums and libraries. Well, the most remarkable structure on this street is certainly a triumphal arch - a very elegant red building, made in the pseudorous style.
