Paragraph Alatyr Alatyr

history can boast a rich and an interesting story: the city was built on the picturesque bank of the Sura River by the decree of Ivan Terrible . The purpose of the construction of the city in so wild at the time the land is quite commonplace: defend Moscow from the Kazan Tatars in 1552 . By the way, due to the fact that Alatirskie fortress built on the site of the Bulgarian city Senbera, many locals still called the city on the Chuvash manners Chemperom . until the 18th century, Alatyr considered an important stronghold of the south of Russia, and then became a prominent trading center of the country . by the early 20th century, the city even exceeded the level of development of the modern capital of the republic - Cheboksary .

There are interesting legends Telling us about the city's name . Allegedly, the name of the fortress was given because of the legendary Alatyr-stone, according to Slavic mythology . center of the world According to legend, this stone is lost somewhere in the sea waters on the island of Buyan .And it is there that the throne of the world reigns .According to legend, Alatyr-stone has magic properties - from under it flow all the healing rivers with "living" water .Be that as it may, but no suitable stone and island description near Alatyr can be seen, but the beautiful legend and the romantically sounding name of the city do not in the least spoil it .

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Alatyr

The history of the city, numbering almost five centuries, simply could not leave behind a large number of monuments and attractions .And it happened: if you look into the boring statistics, you can see quite impressive figures - about 90 buildings and structures with historical and cultural value .And two of them are considered monuments of federal significance .But it is especially pleasant to look, tired of the sight of large megacities, the traditional wooden architecture of the city .Local architecture and traditions of artistic woodworking, coupled with the stylistic methods of classicism, modernity, eclecticism, gave Alatyr rare in beauty and color the ensemble of old streets and lanes .

It is worth to visit the Holy Trinity Monastery, known in Russia since 1584

Of course, the most popular sights of the city are its temples, for which Alatyr was nicknamed the "Orthodox center of the Volga region" .This is the Cathedral of the Beheading of the head of John the Baptist (1703), and the Nikolo-Znamenskaya church in the style of classicism (1770), and the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin (1747) .The Kazan (Pyatnitskaya) church, built in the pseudo-Russian style, is remarkable, which today, alas, is in an emergency condition .It is worth to visit the Holy Trinity Monastery, known in Russia from 1584 g .Another monastery of Alatyr - Kiev-Mykolaiv Novodevichy, which was founded in the distant 1639 g .I must say, this is not all the wealth of the religious architecture of the city, but it's time to move to civilian buildings .For example, the building of the Treasury of the middle of the 19th century, the houses of the merchant Popov (late 19th century, st .Kirov, 1) and the merchant Antonov (st .Gorshenina, 28) .

There is also an Art Nouveau building in Alatyr - this is a shop of the 1900s located on the street. Lenina, 10.

There could not have been a building of the Noble Assembly in the city - now the cinema "Pate". Look to the printing house of SF Rodionov (1882) and the building of the real school of the late 19th century. Finally, look at the former inn (1908), in which, in Soviet times, there was a canteen with the romantic name "No. 2".
