The Penza region is comfortably located in the heart of European Russia. The history of this region is restless, like a cardiogram of the core. The fortified city of Penza was founded in 1663. Historians confirm the fact that ancient settlements were located on the territory of the present Penza (traces of the life of people of the Neolithic age have been preserved). Penza province was founded in 1780.
However, it did not last long, and already in 1797 the city of Penza became the center of the Saratov province. Then it was restored, replaced again, three times changed and in the end in 1939 it was sort of as the Penza region was finally formed. The land is amazingly gracious, beautiful, green and rich in all kinds of sights.
