The expression “Russia will grow with Siberia” has not been heard only by the lazy, and this statement implies an increase not only in the natural resources of this huge Russian region, but also in the most beautiful cities. By the way, some of them even appeared on Russian banknotes. For example, walking around Krasnoyarsk will undoubtedly lead tourists to the chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa - this particular architectural masterpiece is depicted on one of the banknotes.
Cultural walks in Krasnoyarsk
An interesting fact is that the Yenisei flowing through Krasnoyarsk divides the city into two parts, one of which is located in Western Siberia, and the second is already in Eastern. As if this is not one large regional center, but two settlements located along the banks of the great Siberian river. And they say that even the mentality of the residents is different.
The right bank of Krasnoyarsk is not as rich in sights as its "colleague" left bank. In the right-bank part of the cultural institutions, the attention is drawn to the circus, striking in its grandiose size, and the Theater of the Young Spectator.
Much more interesting for tourists is the railway bridge that connects the two banks. At first glance, it is clear that he has already celebrated his centenary. Historians will even suggest that in 1900 this work of road art received the Grand Prix and the gold medal at the World Exhibition, which was held in Paris. Together with the bridge, the famous Parisian creation of the engineer Eiffel received the same award.
Left bank of Krasnoyarsk
Many monuments have been collected on this bank of the city, including the main historical and architectural masterpiece of the city - the chapel, which soars 15 meters into the sky. In addition, it is located at the highest point of Karaulnaya Gora. Archaeologists have found out that earlier it was on this place that a pagan temple was located. Here they performed rituals and performed rituals, the Tatars-Kachins served their gods. They were ousted by the Russian pioneers who came from the west, and they also built an Orthodox church on the site of worship of the pagan gods.
Residents of the city, regardless of religion, adore this place, because the best vantage point is located here: the panorama of Krasnoyarsk and the surrounding area in all its glory appears. There is also a small surprise for the guests - not far from this place is a cannon that shoots at noon, like in St. Petersburg.
